Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

    My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, but violence takes lives away.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 11:30.
