Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “Providing for one’s family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for “doing the best” for his children?”
    —Eva Figes (b. 1932)

    “Welcome to the great American two-career family and pass the aspirin please.”
    —Anastasia Toufexis (20th century)
