Famous quotes containing the word family:

    It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.”
    Calvin Trillin (20th century)

    Welcome to the great American two-career family and pass the aspirin please.
    Anastasia Toufexis (20th century)

    As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
    John Paul II [Karol Wojtyla] (b. 1920)
