Family

Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?
- Janeway, Elizabeth
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

2.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy

3.
Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described --and will be, after our deaths --by each of the family members who believe they know us.
Steinem, Gloria

4.
Family... the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.
Strindberg, J. August

5.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

6.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas

7.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

8.
Caregiver: that word should weigh more than others on a page, sag it down a bit and wrinkle it, because the simple-sounding job frazzles as it consumes and depletes. Not that it's only gloomy. Caregiving offers many fringe benefits, including the sheer sensory delight of nourishing and grooming, sharing, and playing. There's something uniquely fulfilling about being a lodestar, feeling so deeply needed, and it's fun finding creative ways to gladden a loved one's life. But caregiving does buttonhole you; you're stitched in one place.
Diane Ackerman

9.
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese

10.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

11.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

12.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

13.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

14.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

15.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

16.
A farmer who had a quarrelsome family called his sons and told them to lay a bunch of sticks before him. Then, after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one, to pick up the bundle and break it. They all tried, but in vain. Then, untying the bundle, he gave them the sticks to break one by one. This they did with the greatest ease. Then said the father, Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you are a match for anything, but differ and separate, and you are undone.
Aesop

17.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

18.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

19.
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
Keats, John

20.
Nor need we power or splendor, wide hall or lordly dome; the good, the true, the tender- these form the wealth of home.
Hale, Sarah J.

21.
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

22.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard

23.
The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

24.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

25.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

26.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

27.
Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put it in an impossible situation.
Mead, Margaret

28.
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian

29.
There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

30.
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt

31.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

32.
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

33.
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya

34.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

35.
Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others. As long as its spell lasts, the only in-between which can insert itself between two lovers is the child, love's own product. The child, this in-between to which the lovers now are related and which they hold in common, is representative of the world in that it also separates them; it is an indication that they will insert a new world into the existing world. Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.
Arendt, Hannah

36.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

37.
If Mr. Vincent Price were to be co-starred with Miss Bette Davis in a story by Mr. Edgar Allan Poe directed by Mr. Roger Corman, it could not fully express the pent-up violence and depravity of a single day in the life of the average family.
Crisp, Quentin

38.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.

39.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

40.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

41.
The proliferation of support groups suggests to me that too many Americans are growing up in homes that do not contain a grandmother. A home without a grandmother is like an egg without salt and Helpists know it. They have jumped into the void left by the disappearance of morbid old ladies from the bosom of the American family.
King, Florence

42.
Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time wondering when a child will turn in.
Cook, Ted

43.
Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families; and in families not regulated by that pervading influence which sanctifies while it enhances... in short, by the influence of Woman, in the lofty character of Wife, they may be expected with confidence, and must be borne with philosophy.
Dickens, Charles

44.
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
Jane Howard

45.
I have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.
Yeats, William Butler

46.
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.

47.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

48.
No matter where you live, brothers are brothers and sisters are sisters. The bonds that keep family close are the same no matter where you are.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

49.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

50.
A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know.
Moody, Dwight L.
