Family

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



Best Quotes about Family

1.
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.

2.
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

3.
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day

4.
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

5.
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya

6.
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese

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.
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

9.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

10.
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

11.
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

12.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

13.
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

14.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

15.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

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

17.
The family is the most basic unit of government. As the first community to which a person is attached and the first authority under which a person learns to live, the family establishes society's most basic values.
Colton, Charles Caleb

18.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella

19.
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

20.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

24.
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig

25.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

26.
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

27.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

28.
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

29.
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

30.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

31.
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita

32.
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

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.
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

35.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

36.
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

37.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

38.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

47.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas

48.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

49.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

50.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.
