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

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

He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If parents would only realize how they bore their children!

Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had.

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.
