Family

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



Best Quotes about Family

1.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

2.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

8.
The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow. The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.
Howe, Louise Kapp

9.
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

10.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

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

13.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

18.
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

19.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

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

21.
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

22.
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.

23.
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

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

26.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

27.
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

28.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

29.
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

30.
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen

31.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

32.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella

33.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

34.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

35.
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.

36.
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

37.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

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

42.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

43.
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.

44.
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

45.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

46.
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

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

48.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

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