Family

A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
- Sontag, Susan
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
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

2.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.

3.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

4.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

5.
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

6.
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

7.
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.

8.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

9.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

10.
You hear a lot of dialogue on the death of the American family. Families aren't dying. They're merging into big conglomerates.
Bombeck, Erma

11.
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt

12.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

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

14.
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya

15.
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.

16.
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

17.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

21.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

22.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

23.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

24.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

25.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella

26.
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended -- and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
Frost, Robert

27.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

28.
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

29.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

30.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

31.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

32.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

36.
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.

37.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

38.
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.

43.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

44.
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

45.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

46.
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

47.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius

48.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy

49.
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

50.
A farmer who had a quarrelsome family called his sons and told them to lay a bunch of sticks before him. Then, after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one, to pick up the bundle and break it. They all tried, but in vain. Then, untying the bundle, he gave them the sticks to break one by one. This they did with the greatest ease. Then said the father, Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you are a match for anything, but differ and separate, and you are undone.
Aesop
