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



Best Quotes about Family

1.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

5.
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

6.
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.

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

11.
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George

12.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

13.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

14.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

15.
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

16.
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph

17.
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don

18.
A family's photograph album is generally about the extended family and, often, is all that remains of it.
Sontag, Susan

19.
Our relatives are ours by chance, but we can choose our friends.
Delille, Jacques

20.
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

21.
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.

22.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

23.
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

24.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish

25.
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

26.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

27.
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

28.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

29.
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

30.
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

31.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward

32.
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

33.
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

34.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

35.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

36.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese

37.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

38.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

39.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

40.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

41.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

42.
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

43.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella

44.
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha

45.
Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.
Oakley, Ann

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

49.
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

50.
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
