Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.”
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    “As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
    —John Paul II [Karol Wojtyla] (b. 1920)

    “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)
