Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita

2.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

3.
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

4.
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

5.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families; and in families not regulated by that pervading influence which sanctifies while it enhances... in short, by the influence of Woman, in the lofty character of Wife, they may be expected with confidence, and must be borne with philosophy.
Dickens, Charles

10.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

11.
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

12.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

13.
I have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.
Yeats, William Butler

14.
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

15.
Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others. As long as its spell lasts, the only in-between which can insert itself between two lovers is the child, love's own product. The child, this in-between to which the lovers now are related and which they hold in common, is representative of the world in that it also separates them; it is an indication that they will insert a new world into the existing world. Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.
Arendt, Hannah

16.
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

17.
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy

18.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius

19.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

20.
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.
Jane Howard

21.
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

22.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

23.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

24.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

25.
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

26.
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

27.
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig

28.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

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

31.
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

32.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

33.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

34.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

35.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

36.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard

37.
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.

38.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy

39.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

40.
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.

41.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

42.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

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

44.
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen

45.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

46.
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

47.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

48.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish

49.
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.

50.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella
