Men are what their mothers made them.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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