I cannot bear a parent’s tears.

By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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