Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “The touchstone for family life is still the legendary “and so they were married and lived happily ever after.” It is no wonder that any family falls short of this ideal.”
    —Salvador Minuchin (20th century)

    “—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
    and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
    colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
    and, lulled within, a family with pets,
    —and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    “If a family lives in harmony, all its affairs will prosper.”
