Family Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Family

1.
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
Proverb, Jewish

2.
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

3.
The government is becoming the family of last resort.
Brown, Jerry

4.
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.

5.
The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.
Johnson, Paul

6.
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

7.
It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!
Ann Radcliffe

8.
Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.
Twain, Mark

9.
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

10.
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.

11.
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

12.
The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
Confucius

13.
All happy families resemble one another; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

14.
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

15.
A small family is soon provided for.
Proverb, English

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Where can a person be better than in the bosom of their family.
Gretry, Marmontel

19.
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
Mencken, H. L.

20.
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

21.
Absence is one of the most useful ingredients of family life, and to dose it rightly is an art like any other.
Stark, Freya

22.
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

23.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Schulz, Charles M.

24.
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

25.
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

26.
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

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.
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

29.
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive.
Benson, Stella

30.
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

31.
In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.
Proverb, Chinese

32.
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

33.
The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.
Jefferson, Thomas

34.
What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
Graves, Clarissa

35.
Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror, shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone.
Mcginley, Phyllis

36.
The family is the school of duties... founded on love.
Adler, Felix

37.
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

38.
Family is the most important thing in the world.
Diana, Princess of Wales

39.
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Lardner, Ring

40.
The family spirit has rendered man carnivorous.
Picabia, Francis

41.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Lincoln, Abraham

42.
The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.
Confucius

43.
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

44.
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

45.
A brother is a friend provided by nature.
Pere, Legouve

46.
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Luce, Clare Boothe

47.
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.

48.
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
John Paul II

49.
You hear a lot of dialogue on the death of the American family. Families aren't dying. They're merging into big conglomerates.
Bombeck, Erma

50.
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
