A family’s photograph album is generally about the extended family—and, often, is all that remains of it.

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

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

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.

Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessions of happiness.

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

He that raises a large family, does indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand…a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too. 

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

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

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

One race there is of men, one of gods, but from one mother we both draw our breath.

Men are what their mothers made them.

God is our father, but even more is God our mother.
