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

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

It takes a lot of work to put together a marriage, to put together a family and a home.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.

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.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

What must it be like for a little boy to read that daddy never loved mummy?

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

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
