Famous quotes containing the words plenty and/or family:
“A man is not necessarily intelligent because he has plenty of ideas, any more than he is a good general because he has plenty of soldiers.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
