Family Quotes

The greenest home is the one you don't build. If you really want to save the Earth, move in with another family and share a house that's already built. Better yet, live in the forest and eat whatever the squirrels don't want Picture Quote #1

I wish people would shift that focus on to themselves and their own family and their own friends and just maybe spend a little more time on their home front. And not some distant planet that is me Picture Quote #1

Dad kept us out of school, but school comes and goes. Family is forever Picture Quote #1

Anyone who has ever experienced dehumanized life on welfare or any other confidence-shaking dependency knows that a paid job may be preferable to the dole, even when the handout is coming from a family member Picture Quote #1

My father was the Jewish half of the family, yet it was my mother who taught me to have pride in that tradition Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government Picture Quote #1

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family Picture Quote #1

Frankly I'm fairly boring or fairly busy. Between writing and family, I have little time for anything else Picture Quote #1

Blood family, that's something we get dealt. Sometimes we get a bad hand. Not much way around it. You just have to grow up and get more family. The kind you get to pick out yourself Picture Quote #1

Never lose sight of the fact that old age needs so little, but needs that little so much Picture Quote #1

Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply Picture Quote #1

Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring - quite often the hard way Picture Quote #1

The great advantage of living in a large family is that early lesson of life's essential unfairness Picture Quote #1

Love and fear. Everything the father of a family says must inspire one or the other Picture Quote #1

It felt good, the whole family together on a sunny morning in a wholesome environment. If it hadn't been for the warshiping God part, he would have happily attended church on a regular basis Picture Quote #1

The family we choose for ourselves is more important than the one we were born into; that people have to earn our respect and trust, not have it handed to them simply because of genetics Picture Quote #1

When we get waylaid from our walk with God by busyness, depression, family problems, or worse, God does not abandon us Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To each other, we were as normal and nice as the smell of bread. We were just a family. In a family even exaggerations make perfect sense Picture Quote #1

My family isn't really all that different from anyone else's. Well, maybe they're a bit more entertaining Picture Quote #1

Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result, now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women Picture Quote #1

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life Picture Quote #1

As women slowly gain power, their values and priorities are reshaping the agenda. A multitude of studies show that when women control the family funds, they generally spend more on health, nutrition, and education - and less on alcohol and cigarettes Picture Quote #1

I come from a very non-accepting family, but I'm very accepting Picture Quote #1

There is little less trouble in governing a private family than a whole kingdom Picture Quote #1

The family feuds or the village feuds often had to do with an idea of honor. Perhaps it was a peasant idea; perhaps this idea of honor is especially important to a society without recourse to law or without confidence in law Picture Quote #1

So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip Picture Quote #1

A fellow oughtn't to let his family property go to pieces Picture Quote #1

Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof Picture Quote #1
