Motivational Quotes
Family
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.

Best Quotes about Family
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish
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
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex
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
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis
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.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
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
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.
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.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian
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.
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
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
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
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
He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.
Franklin, Benjamin
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.
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
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese
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
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
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
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt
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
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.
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
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don
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 government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates
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
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
