Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
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

2.
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

3.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

4.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

5.
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

6.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

7.
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

8.
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

9.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas

10.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

11.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

12.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

13.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

14.
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.

15.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

16.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

17.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

18.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

19.
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy

20.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy

24.
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

25.
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

26.
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day

27.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

28.
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

29.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

30.
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.

31.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

32.
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

33.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

34.
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

35.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish

36.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

37.
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

38.
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

39.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

40.
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

41.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

42.
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

43.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

44.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

45.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

46.
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita

47.
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

48.
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

49.
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.

50.
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
