Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “Nor does the family even move about together,
    But every son would have his motor cycle,
    And daughters ride away on casual pillions.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “If family communication is good, parents can pick up the signs of stress in children and talk about it before it results in some crisis. If family communication is bad, not only will parents be insensitive to potential crises, but the poor communication will contribute to problems in the family.”
    —Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
