Family Sing

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or sing:

    Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’
    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Because it is my country
    And I speak to it of itself
    And sing of it with my own voice
    Since certainly it is mine.
    Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
