Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted. |
There is no cure for laziness but a large family helps. |
In a houseful of toddlers and pets, you can start out having a bad day, but you keep getting detoured. |
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. |
When our relatives are at home, we have to think of all their good points or it would be impossible to endure them. |
To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there. |
The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since it is that which is the lot of the mass of mankind. |
Blood's thicker than water, and when one's in trouble Best to seek out a relative's open arms. |
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. |
In some families, please is described as the magic word. In our house, however, it was sorry. |
