All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Cherish your human connections - your relationships with friends and family.

Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.

God did not intend the human family to be wafted to heaven on flowery beds of ease.

Family life itself, that safest, most traditional, most approved of female choices, is not a sanctuary: It is, perpetually, a dangerous place.

When I remember my family, I always remember their backs. They were always indignantly leaving places.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

The most difficult is the first family, to bring someone out of the world.

Dignity is not negotiable. Dignity is the honor of the family.
