Famous quotes containing the word family:

This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Every family has one passage of scripture they stumble over.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Chant lessons and your family will prosper; drunken ditties will lead you to ruin.”
—Chinese proverb.
