Motivational Quotes
Family
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.
Best Quotes about Family
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 small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English
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.
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita
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
Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.
Groening, Matt
The hatred of relatives is the most violent.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya
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
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha
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
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.
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
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.
Jane Howard
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.
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
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry
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
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul
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
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix
Love, by reason of its passion, destroys the in-between which relates us to and separates us from others. As long as its spell lasts, the only in-between which can insert itself between two lovers is the child, love's own product. The child, this in-between to which the lovers now are related and which they hold in common, is representative of the world in that it also separates them; it is an indication that they will insert a new world into the existing world. Through the child, it is as though the lovers return to the world from which their love had expelled them. But this new worldliness, the possible result and the only possibly happy ending of a love affair, is, in a sense, the end of love, which must either overcome the partners anew or be transformed into another mode of belonging together.
Arendt, Hannah
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese
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
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa
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
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish
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.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George
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.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark
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
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
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
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian
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
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates
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
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.
