“My goal is to get everybody in America to do their family tree.”– Henry Louis Gates Related Quotes “When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that’s what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded, and totally in check.”– Leighton Meester “Family does not mean people with the same last name or the same DNA. It means people who care about you, who you trust, who you care about–people you can count on.”— Kris Radish “All I can tell you is that every family on the planet is dysfunctional and we celebrate occasions as generously as we know how to do. We are all doing our best to appear grateful to have one another. Weren’t appearances worth something?”— Dorothea Benton Frank
