Motivational Quotes
Family
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.
Best Quotes about Family
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
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.
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
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
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan
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
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.
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
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
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
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve
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
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
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
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II
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
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
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius
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.
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.
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
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
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
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
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
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
