Family

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
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

5.
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

6.
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.

7.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

8.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

9.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy

10.
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

11.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

12.
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.

13.
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

14.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

18.
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

19.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

20.
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese

21.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

22.
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

23.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.

24.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

25.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

26.
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

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

28.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

29.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

30.
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

31.
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

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

34.
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day

35.
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

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

37.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

38.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

39.
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan

40.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

41.
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

42.
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

43.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

44.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish

45.
When I do something in my family because I really enjoy it, then my duty has become my pleasure. And it is a pleasure for all the people around me.
Lair, Dr. Jess

46.
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

47.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

48.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

49.
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

50.
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
