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

Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one’s own Trojan horse.

I cannot bear a parent’s tears.

In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.

Familiarity breeds contempt—and children.

The root of the kingdom is in the State. The root of the State is in the family. The root of the family is in the person of its Head.

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

Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.  

Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.

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.

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.

Few sons are equal to their fathers; most fall short, all too few surpass them.
