Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:
“It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
