Family

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
Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas

2.
You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family.
Baker, Anita

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
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.

10.
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

11.
Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.
Bach, Richard

12.
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

13.
A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
Swindoll, Charles

14.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

15.
Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone

16.
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya

17.
Look for the good, not the evil, in the conduct of members of the family.
Proverb, Jewish

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Beecher, Henry Ward

24.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

25.
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
Buffett, Jimmy

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

27.
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

28.
All people are your relatives, therefore expect only trouble from them.
Proverb, Chinese

29.
Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
Haley, Alex

30.
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

31.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

32.
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

33.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

34.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

35.
I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.
Anna Quindlen

36.
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

37.
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

38.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

39.
My family begins with me, your family ends with you.
Iphicrates

40.
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

41.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

42.
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

43.
Cruel is the strife of brothers.
Aristotle

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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.

47.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

48.
Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Proverb, Chinese

49.
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

50.
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Leo Tolstoy
