Famous quotes containing the words family, charitable and/or interests:

    “The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfilment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.”
    —Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)

    She wolde wepe, if that she saugh a mous
    Kaught in a trappe, if it were deed or bledde.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “When liberty is mentioned, we must always be careful to observe whether it is not really the assertion of private interests which is thereby designated.”
