Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Govern a small family as you would cook a small fish, very gently.
    —(20th century)

    A family with an old person has a living treasure of gold.

    Nor does the family even move about together,
    But every son would have his motor cycle,
    And daughters ride away on casual pillions.
