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

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

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

It is impossible to please all the world and one’s father.

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

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.

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

It’s frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself… it seems unfair. You can’t assume the responsibility for everything you do—or don’t do.

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 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.
