Best Quotes about Family
People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.
Ziglar, Zig
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas
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
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles
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
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don
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
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt
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
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
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.
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
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese
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
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
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
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry
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
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius
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
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
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
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
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
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark
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
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
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann
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
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
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
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
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward
