About This Quote
If we as a society work diligently in every other area of life and neglect the family, it would be analogous to straightening deck chairs on the Titanic. In the end, that ship would still sink. When we lose ourselves in our work or our social activities, we forget that everything that happens in the world happens within the context of a family. The Titanic was a famous ocean liner which sank in 1912 after striking an iceberg during a voyage from England to New York City.
The safety of children was a concern for many, so the captain asked people to bring their children aboard. Although many did, others refused to do so.
