Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

5.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.

7.
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.
Rossetti, Christina

8.
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.

9.
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

10.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

11.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

12.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

13.
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

14.
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya

15.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

16.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

17.
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

18.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig

23.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

24.
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

25.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

30.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

31.
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

32.
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.

33.
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

34.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

35.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

36.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

37.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.

38.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

39.
A poor relation is the most irrelevant thing in nature, a piece of impertinent correspondence, an odious approximation, a haunting conscience, a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noon-tide of our prosperity. He is known by his knock.
Lamb, Charles

40.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

41.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

42.
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

43.
Parents and children seldom act in concert: each child endeavors to appropriate the esteem or fondness of the parents, and the parents, with yet less temptation, betray each other to their children.
Johnson, Samuel

44.
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day

45.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward

46.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard

47.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

48.
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

49.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

50.
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
