Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Do not let your bachelor ways crystallize so that you can’t soften them when you come to have a wife and a family of your own.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Every family should extend First Amendment rights to all its members, but this freedom is particularly essential for our kids. Children must be able to say what they think, openly express their feelings, and ask for what they want and need if they are ever able to develop an integrated sense of self. They must be able to think their own thoughts, even if they differ from ours. They need to have the opportunity to ask us questions when they don’t understand what we mean.
    Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    For most women who are considering it, single motherhood is not their first choice, but it’s not their last one either. They would prefer a husband in their family, but they’d rather have a family without one than no family at all.
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
