Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “You can read the best experts on child care. You can listen to those who have been there. You can take a whole childbirth and child-care course without missing a lesson. But you won’t really know a thing about yourselves and each other as parents, or your baby as a child, until you have her in your arms. That’s the moment when the lifelong process of bringing up a child into the fold of the family begins.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    “Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

    “While one family is well-fed and clothed, a thousand others grumble.”
    —Chinese proverb.
