I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.
~
Harry S Truman
In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.

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
The great danger for family life, in the midst of
any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.
~
Pope John Paul II
You would think that those who are always talking about family values would want to create an environment of permanent
relationships for people of the same sex. But they're not advocating family values. They're advocating their values.
~
Mayor of San Francisco- Willie Brown
Important families are like potatoes. The best parts are underground.
~
Francis Bacon
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society
are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.
~
Jessamyn West
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. - opening line from Anna Karenina

Sam Levenson
You hear a lot of dialogue on the death of the American family. Families aren't dying. They're merging into big conglomerates.

Erma Bombeck
As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known,
so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.
~
John Donne
All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
~ Leo Tolstoy
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.
~
Margaret Mead
To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.
~
Marilyn French
If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either.
And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.
~
