Motivational Quotes
Family
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Best Quotes about Family
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius
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
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward
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
None but a mule denies his family.
Proverb, Arabian
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
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.
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
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
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
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.
Losing a baby is not a thing that you could ever get used to.
Erica Eisdorfer
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius
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
I think the ideal situation for a family is to be completely incestuous.
Burroughs, William S.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella
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
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
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
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve
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
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
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa
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
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
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
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
Proverb, Chinese
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
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone
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
I would rather start a family than finish one.
Marquis, Don
They say that blood is thicker than water. Maybe that's why we battle our own with more energy and gusto than we would ever expend on strangers.
David Assael
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.
Buddha
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
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring
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.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II
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
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
