In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present
Tao Le Ching
DELUSION, n. The father of a most respectable family, comprising Enthusiasm, Affection, Self-denial, Faith, Hope, Charity and many other goodly sons and daughters.
Ambrose Gwinett Bierce
Children have no use for psychology. They detest sociology. They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff. When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish allusions.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Our employees are like extended members of our family.
Henry Ford
The great universal family of men is a utopia worthy of the most mediocre logic.
Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont
In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony
Eva Evelyn Burrows
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.
Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh
Angelina has made pregnancy and motherhood fashionable. She's expanded the notion of what a family is, and that has a great deal of impact
Sally Lee
We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children
John Sculley
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.
Gloria Steinem
If nature had arranged that husbands and wives should have children alternatively, there would never be more than three in a family
Lawrence Housman
Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.
Will Rogers
Spend some time this weekend on home improvement; improve your attitude toward your family.

I went to professional men's soccer games, the old North American soccer league at that time, and I used to be a ticket holder with my family and family friends. We would go every weekend and I thought it was great, but I just thought of it as recreation, as family fun.
