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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.  

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.
