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

Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

2.
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

3.
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

4.
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

5.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

6.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

7.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

8.
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

9.
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.

10.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

11.
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

12.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

13.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

14.
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

15.
Having a baby's sweet face so close to your own, for so long a time as it takes to nurse'em, is a great tonic for a sad soul.
Erica Eisdorfer

16.
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.

17.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

18.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella

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.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy

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

25.
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.

26.
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

27.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

28.
The family unit plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
O'connor, Sandra Day

29.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

30.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas

31.
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.

32.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

33.
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

34.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

35.
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

36.
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese

40.
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

41.
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

42.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

43.
As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals --or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?
Macaulay, Rose

44.
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt

45.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius

46.
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian

47.
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

48.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

49.
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

50.
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita
