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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

To be a successful father… there’s one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don’t look at it for the first two years.

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

Men are what their mothers made them.

I cannot bear a parent’s tears.

There is not much less vexation in the government of a private family than in the managing of an entire state.
