Famous quotes containing the words family and/or names:

    “Family values are a little like family vacations—subject to changeable weather and remembered more fondly with the passage of time. Though it rained all week at the beach, it’s often the momentary rainbows that we remember.”
    —Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)

    “You shall see men you never heard of before, whose names you don’t know,... and many other wild and noble sights before night, such as they who sit in parlors never dream of.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
