Genovese Crime Family/current Family Members

Famous quotes containing the words family members, crime, family, current and/or members:

    What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    Thy Godlike crime was to be kind,
    To render with thy precepts less
    The sum of human wretchedness,
    And strengthen Man with his own mind;
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Govern a small family as you would cook a small fish, very gently.
    —(20th century)

    Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    ...wasting the energies of the race by neglecting to develop the intelligence of the members to whom its most precious resources must be entrusted, already seems a childish absurdity.
    Anna Eugenia Morgan (1845–1909)
