Quotes about Family

"I know why families were created with all their imperfections. They humanize you. They are made to make you forget yourself occasionally, so that the beautiful balance of life is not destroyed."
Anais Nin

"The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child. And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale the community itself is crippled. So, unless we work to strengthen the family, to create conditions under which most parents will stay together, all the rest — schools, playgrounds, and public assitance, and private concern — will never be enough."
Lyndon Baines Johnson

"To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others."
Pope John Paul II

"FAMILY = (F)Father,(A) and (M)Mother, (I)I (L)Love (Y) You"
Author Unknown

"Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice."
Reinhold Niebuhr

"My family.
I realized they are the most important part of my life. Throughout the year I had many challenges, but my family were always there offering support and encouragement."
Catherine Pulsifer
