Best Quotes about Family
A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative.
Ade, George
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa
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 strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius
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
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
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 test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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
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
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
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
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
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel
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.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish
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
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian
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
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle
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
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
In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.
Pritchett, V. S.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone
Of all my wife's relations I like myself the best.
Cook, Joseph
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix
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
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella
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
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
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy
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
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis
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
