The family… home of all social vices, where children are taught to tell their first lie; the charitable institution for all lazy women.

The family is the place where the most ridiculous and least respectable things in the world go on.
Ugo Betti (1892-1953) Italian playwright
No matter how many communes anybody invents, the family always creeps back.
Margaret Mead (1901-1978) American anthropologist
He that health wife and children have given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.

Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.
Chinese aphorism
If Absolute Sovereignty be not necessary in a State, how comes it to be so in a family?
Mary Astell (1666-1731) English feminist writer.
Be kind to your mother-in-law, and if necessary pay for her board at some good hotel.
Josh Billings (1818-1885) American humorist
The awe and dread with which the untutored savage contemplates his mother-in-law are amongst the most familiar facts of anthropology.

If you want to know how old a women is, ask her sister-in-law,
Ed (E.W.) Howe (1853-1937) American Journalist, novelist.
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, To fetch one if one goes astray, To lift one if one totters down, To strengthen whilst one stand.
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) English poet, lyricist
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Charles Schulz (b.1922) American cartoonist.
Relations are simply a tedious pack of people who haven’t go the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when to die.
Oscar wilde (1854-1900) Anglo – Irish author.
The family was ordained of God that children might be trained up for himself; it was before the church, or rather the first form of the church on earth.
Civilization varies with the family, and the family with civilization. Its highest and most complete realization is found where enlightened Christianity Prevails; where woman is exalted to her true and lofty place as equal with the man; where husband and wife are one in honor, influence, and affection, and where children are a common bond of care and love. This is the idea of a perfect family.
W.Aikman.
Happy are the families where the government of parents is the reign of affection, and obedience of the children the submission of love.
If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well being of the church and state.
Bacon
If god has taught us all truth in teaching us to love, then he has given us an interpretation of our whole duty to our households. We are not born as the partridge in the wood, or the ostrich of the desert, to be scattered everywhere; but we are to be grouped together, and brooded by love, and reared day by day in that first of churches, the family.
H.W.Beecher
As are families, so is society. If well ordered, well instructed, and well governed, they are the springs from which go forth the streams of national greatness and prosperity of civil order and public happiness.
Thayer
The ties of family and of country were never intended to circumscribe the soul. If allowed to become exclusive, engrossing, clannish, so as to shut out the general claims of the human race, the highest end of Providence is frustrated, and home, instead of being the nursery, becomes the grave of the heart.
Channing
A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
Bowring
A house without a roof would scarcely be a more different home, than a family unsheltered by God’s friendship, and the sense of being always rested in His providential care and guidance.
Horace Bushnell.
“The last world” is the most dangerous of infernal machines, and the husband and wife should no more fight to get it than they would struggles for the possession of a lighted bombshell.
Douglas jerrold.
“ A family without government” says Matthew Henry” is like a house without a roof, exposed to every wind that blows.” He might better have said, like a house in flames, a scene of confusion, and commonly too hot to live in.
Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle.
Amiel.
