Family

In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
- Pritchett, V. S.
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius

2.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

3.
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

4.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

5.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.

6.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

7.
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

8.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

14.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

15.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

16.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

17.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

18.
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

19.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

20.
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

21.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

22.
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

23.
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian

24.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

25.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward

26.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella

27.
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

28.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

29.
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

30.
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]
Bible

31.
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

32.
As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals --or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?
Macaulay, Rose

33.
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig

34.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

35.
One of life's greatest mysteries is how the boy who wasn't good enough to marry your daughter can be the father of the smartest grandchild in the world.
Proverb, Jewish

36.
The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow. The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.
Howe, Louise Kapp

37.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

38.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

39.
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.

40.
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

41.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

42.
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

43.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

44.
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

45.
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

46.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

47.
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day

48.
Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.
Niebuhr, Reinhold

49.
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

50.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
