Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
    —Jane Nelson (20th century)

    “No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
