I don't have to look up my family tree, because I know that I'm the sap.
- Family Day Quotes by Fred Allen
The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people
- no mere father and mother
- as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.
- Family Day Quotes by Pearl S. Buck
The great advantage of living in a large family is that early lesson of life's essential unfairness.

The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.

And help guide us back to the light.

The family - that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape, nor, in our inmost hearts, ever quite wish to.

In time of test, family is best.
- Family Day Quotes by Burmese Proverb
Family is just accident.... They don't mean to get on your nerves. They don't even mean to be your family, they just are.
- Family Day Quotes by Marsha Norman
The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works is the family.
- Family Day Quotes by Lee Iacocca
Friends are God's apology for relations.
- Family Day Quotes by Hugh Kingsmill
They... threw themselves into the interests of the rest, but each plowed his or her own furrow. Their thoughts, their little passions and hopes and desires, all ran along separate lines. Family life is like this
- animated, but collateral.
- Family Day Quotes by Rose Macaulay
What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life
- to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
