Famous quotes containing the word family:

    “If a family lives in harmony, all its affairs will prosper.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
    —Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)

    “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)
