Famous quotes containing the words family and, family, personal and/or life:

    Overcome the Empyrean; hurl
    Heaven and Earth out of their places,
    That in the same calamity
    Brother and brother, friend and friend,
    Family and family,
    City and city may contend.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    The lover never sees personal resemblances in his mistress to her kindred or to others. His friends find in her a likeness to her mother, or her sisters, or to persons not of her blood. The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
