Famous quotes containing the word family:
“True spoiling is nothing to do with what a child owns or with amount of attention he gets. he can have the major part of your income, living space and attention and not be spoiled, or he can have very little and be spoiled. It is not what he gets that is at issue. It is how and why he gets it. Spoiling is to do with the family balance of power.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“Of all the vices, lewdness is the worst; of all the virtues, family duty is the first.”
—Chinese proverb.
