Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:

    “The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “The spring is here, young and beautiful as ever, and absolutely shocking in its display of reckless maternity; but the Judas tree will bloom for you on the Bosphorus if you get there in time. No one ever loved the dog-wood and Judas tree as I have done, and it is my one crown of life to be sure that I am going to take them with me to heaven to enjoy real happiness with the Virgin and them.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
