The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.

If parents would only realize how they bore their children!

The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.

In peace, children inter their parents; war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.

Mother died today. Or maybe it was yesterday, I don’t know. 

The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.

By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.

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.

Familiarity breeds contempt—and children.

Nobody, who has not been in the interior of a family, can say what the difficulties of any individual of that family may be.

Family! Thou art the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.

A Jewish man with parents alive is a fifteen-year-old boy, and will remain a fifteen-year-old boy till they die!

I cannot bear a parent’s tears.
