Family

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.
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig

2.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

3.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

4.
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

5.
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

6.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

7.
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

8.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer

9.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

10.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

14.
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

15.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

16.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.

17.
Parents and children seldom act in concert: each child endeavors to appropriate the esteem or fondness of the parents, and the parents, with yet less temptation, betray each other to their children.
Johnson, Samuel

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

22.
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

23.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas

24.
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

25.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

29.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

30.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

31.
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

32.
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

33.
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen

34.
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.

35.
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy

36.
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.

37.
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

38.
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

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

45.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

46.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

47.
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

48.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

49.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

50.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
