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

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

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

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.

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

Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one’s own Trojan horse.

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