Famous quotes containing the word family:

    We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a cheque every month, and hoped he’d get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.
    John Osborne (b. 1929)

    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)

    It is turning three hundred years
    On our cisatlantic shore
    For family after family name.
    We’ll make it three hundred more
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
