- Jefferson, Thomas
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
He didn't dare to, because his father had a weak heart and habitually threatened to drop dead if anybody hurt his feelings. You may have noticed that people with weak hearts are the tyrants of English married life.
Shaw, George Bernard

2.
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

3.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

4.
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

5.
If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going,'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'
Jeff Foxworthy

6.
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

7.
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.

8.
Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

9.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

10.
I think people that have a brother or sister don't realize how lucky they are. Sure, they fight a lot, but to know that there's always somebody there, somebody that's family.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

11.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

12.
Having a baby's sweet face so close to your own, for so long a time as it takes to nurse'em, is a great tonic for a sad soul.
Erica Eisdorfer

13.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

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

15.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

16.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

17.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

18.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

19.
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.
Howard, Jane

20.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

21.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

22.
You hear a lot of dialogue on the death of the American family. Families aren't dying. They're merging into big conglomerates.
Bombeck, Erma

23.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

24.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

25.
When I do something in my family because I really enjoy it, then my duty has become my pleasure. And it is a pleasure for all the people around me.
Lair, Dr. Jess

26.
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt

27.
Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror, shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone.
Mcginley, Phyllis

28.
They say that blood is thicker than water. Maybe that's why we battle our own with more energy and gusto than we would ever expend on strangers.
David Assael

29.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

30.
Women's liberationists spread the word that the only peaceful family is one in which either the wife is enslaved or the husband is androgynous.
Tyell, R. Emmett

31.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

32.
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

33.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

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

35.
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

36.
With a new familiarity and a flesh-creeping homeliness entirely of this unreal, materialistic world, where all sentiment is coarsely manufactured and advertised in colossal sickly captions, disguised for the sweet tooth of a monstrous baby called the Public, the family as it is, broken up on all hands by the agency of feminist and economic propaganda, reconstitutes itself in the image of the state.
Lewis, Wyndham

37.
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.

38.
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.

39.
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian

40.
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

41.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

42.
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

43.
The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfillment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.
Mazzini, Giuseppe

44.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

45.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

46.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

47.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

48.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

49.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

50.
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended -- and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
Frost, Robert
