At one point, when I was 20 and living in Kentucky, I got shot - it was a land dispute over six inches of property that ran a hundred yards through my grandfather's land. It was really over the honor of my family and that of another family.
Jack Bowman
There isno more fruitful source of familydiscontent than a housewife's badly-cooked dinners and untidy ways.
Isabella Mary Beeton
Blest be those feasts, with simple plenty crowned, Where all the ruddy family around Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale.
Oliver Goldsmith
The whole family of pride and ignorance are incestuous, and mutually beget each other
Charles Caleb Colton
We have been told, O Krishna, that people whose family traditions are destroyed necessarily dwell in hell for a long time.
Bhagavad Gita
I think history is inextricably linked to identity. If you don't know your history, if you don't know your family, who are you?
Mary Pipher
While I am proud of a number of accomplishments, there are real costs to being unreasonable. Long hours. Too little time with family. A near incapacity for, as they say, stopping and smelling the roses
Eli Broad
I never look at the masses as my responsibility; I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time - just one, one, one. So you begin. I began - I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand....The same thing goes for you, the same thing in your family, the same thing in your church, your community. Just begin - one, one, one.
Mother Teresa
Marriage," "mating," and "love" are socially constructed phenomena that have little or no transferable meaning outside any given culture. The examples we've noted of rampant ritualized group sex, mate-swapping, unrestrained casual affairs, and socially sanctioned sequential sex were all reported in cultures that anthropologists insist are monogamous simply because they've determined that something they call "marriage" takes place there. No wonder so many insist that marriage, monogamy, and the nuclear family are human universals. With such all-encompassing interpretations of the concepts, even the prairie vole, who "sleeps with anyone," would qualify.
Christopher Ryan
I wish I had it in my power to furnish you with accommodation I should feel proud to do it, shall be happy to hear from you at anytime when you engagements will allow you an hour and remain with best wishes for yourself, family and circuit.
John Hawley
A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree.
Helen Keller
And it is time for those who talk about family values to start valuing families.
Senator John Kerry
A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.
Saul Alinsky
A woman should be home with the children, building that home and making sure there's a secure family atmosphere
Mel Gibson
Marriage is a great institution. No family should be without it.
Mae West
