Family

Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
- Bach, Richard
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

2.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

3.
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan

4.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

5.
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

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

7.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

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.
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

10.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

11.
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.

12.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy

13.
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

14.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

15.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish

16.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

17.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

18.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

19.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

20.
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.

21.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

22.
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

27.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

28.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

29.
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

30.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

31.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

35.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

36.
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian

37.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

38.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

45.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

46.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius

47.
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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
