Best Quotes about Family
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles
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
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward
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
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt
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.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius
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.
Howard, Jane
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese
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
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve
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
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
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.
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques
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
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.
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
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese
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
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
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe
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
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
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
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
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English
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
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig
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
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
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese
