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

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.

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.

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

Men are what their mothers made them.

In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.

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

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

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.

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

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended—and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended.
