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.
~ Charles Dickens
To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents

Govern a family as you would cook a small fish - very gently.
~ Chinese Proverbs
My wife has been my closest friend, my closest advisor. And ... she's not somebody who looks to the
limelight, or even is wild about me being in politics. And that's a good reality check on me. When I go home, she
wants me to be a good father and a good husband. And everything else is secondary to that.
~ Barack Obama
The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions,
and the values of the child. And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a
massive scale the community itself is crippled. So, unless we work to strengthen the family, to create
conditions under which most parents will stay together, all the rest - schools, playgrounds, and public assitance, and private concern - will never be enough.
~
Lyndon Baines Johnson
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.

Colette
The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you.

Eda LeShan
It is my pleasure that my children are free and happy, and
unrestrained by parental tyranny. Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.

Don't hold your parents up to contempt. After all, you are their son, and it is just possible that you may take after them.
~

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
~
Robert Frost
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to this country and to mankind is to bring up a family.
