The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other.

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

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

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

My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.

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

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.

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

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

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

My father! The sun is my father, and the earth is my mother, and on her bosom I will recline.

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