Famous quotes containing the word family:

    For every family had one cat at least in the bag.
    Christopher Smart (1722–1771)

    ... what a family is without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
