Motivational Quotes
Family
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Best Quotes about Family
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
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
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe
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
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese
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
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
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring
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.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
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
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
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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 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
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
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham
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.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius
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
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don
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
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer
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
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 brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve
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
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe
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
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita
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
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
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.
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
