Family

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
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius

2.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

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

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.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

7.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

8.
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.

9.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward

10.
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

11.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.

20.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

21.
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese

22.
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

23.
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

24.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

25.
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

26.
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

27.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

28.
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

29.
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig

30.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

31.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

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

34.
No matter where you live, brothers are brothers and sisters are sisters. The bonds that keep family close are the same no matter where you are.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

35.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

36.
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt

37.
Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

38.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

39.
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.

40.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish

41.
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

42.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

43.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

44.
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

45.
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

46.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

47.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

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

49.
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy

50.
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
