I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other - and we still are.

I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me when I die and I wish to enjoy it with my family while I live. I should prefer living in Germany to any other country though I am an American and am loyal to my country.

We give a lot of others significance in our lives even when they don't deserve it. It doesn't matter if they're family or if you've known them forever. If they're not good for you they've got to go.

There are no adequate substitutes for father mother and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government no matter how well-intentioned can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.

I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.

The practice of patience toward one another the overlooking of one another's defects and the bearing of one another's burdens is the most elementary condition of all human and social activity in the family in the professions and in society.

Probably the worst time in a person's life is when they have to kill a family member because they are the devil. But otherwise it's been a pretty good day.

My mother's love has always been a sustaining force for our family and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity her compassion her intelligence reflected in my daughters.

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

All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family - and God's love - this world would be a far more gentle and better place.

The first-born in every family is always dreaming for an imaginary older brother or sister who will look out for them.

To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become in a special way the servant of the others.

It's true Christmas can feel like a lot of work particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories good and bad are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul.

The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.

Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family friends and coworkers and even strangers you meet along the way.

Happiness is having a large loving caring close-knit family in another city.

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

Like all my family and class I considered it a sign of weakness to show affection to have been caught kissing my mother would have been a disgrace and to have shown affection for my father would have been a disaster.

There are things that you cannot talk to your mother and father about there are things that you cannot talk to your children about.

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

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

To us family means putting your arms around each other and being there.

My family comes first. Maybe that's what makes me different from other guys.
