Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds; they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material.

7.

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

- Addison, Joseph

8.

As a man has no right to kill one of his children if it is diseased or insane, so aman who has made the gradual and conscious expression of his personality in literature the aim of his life, has no right to suppress himself any carefully considered work which seemed good enough when it was written. Suppression, if it is deserved, will come rapidly enough from the same causes that suppress the unworthy members of a man’s family.

- John Millington Synge

9.

One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage. We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fiber of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardily.

- Raban, Jonathan

10.

I am the family face; flesh perishes, I live on, projecting trait and trace through time to times anon, and leaping from place to place over oblivion.

- Hardy, Thomas

11.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. [Proverbs 18:19]

So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.

The American father is never seen in London. He passes his life entirely in Wall Street and communicates with his family once a month by means of a telegram in cipher.

- Wilde, Oscar

15.

It is not possible for one to teach others who cannot teach his own family.

- Confucius

16.

As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it, or leave it.

- Hackett, Buddy

17.

Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.

- Willa Cather

18.

I grew up in a very large family in a very small house. I never slept alone until after I was married.

- Grizzard, Lewis

19.

I've learned that all a person has in life is family and friends. If you lose those, you have nothing, so friends are to be treasured more than anything else in the world.

Like all the best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.
