Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Though a family be a thousand, there can be only one in charge.
    Chinese proverb.

    Chant lessons and your family will prosper; drunken ditties will lead you to ruin.
    Chinese proverb.

    English people apparently queue up as a sort of hobby. A family man might pass a mild autumn evening by taking the wife and kids to stand in the cinema queue for a while and then leading them over for a few minutes in the sweetshop queue and then, as a special treat for the kids, saying “Perhaps we’ve time to have a look at the Number Thirty-One bus queue before we turn in.”
    Calvin Trillin (b. 1940)
