Quotes about Family and Life

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs,
and returns home to find it.

Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.

The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other.
- Mario Puzo


The family uses people, not for what they are, nor for what they are intended to be, but for what it wants them for— its own uses. It thinks of them not as what God has made them, but as the something which it has arranged that they shall be.
- Florence Nightingale



In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.
- Marge Kennedy



The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.
- Confucius 




The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child. And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale the community itself is crippled. So, unless we work to strengthen the family, to create conditions under which most parents will stay together, all the rest — schools, playgrounds, and public assitance, and private concern — will never be enough.
- Lyndon Baines Johnson 



There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
- Beecher, Henry Ward 


The family is the nucleus of civilization.
- Franklin, Benjamin

Positive Quotes about Marriage and Life

We all have a childhood dream that when there is love, everything goes like silk, but the reality is that marriage requires a lot of compromise.
- Raquel Welch 


Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.
- Barbara Dr Angelis  


Being in a long marriage is a little bit like that nice cup of coffee every morning - I might have it every day, but I still enjoy it.
 -Stephen Gaines


A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.  
-Dave Meurer


Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly
understood that they are on the same side.
- Zig Ziglar 



 
Common courtesy plays a big role in happy marriages. People who are permanently married are polite to one another. They do not want to hurt one another's feelings, and they do not try to make the other one feel humiliated. People who are married for life are extremely kind to one another.
- Frank Pittman



A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
- Unknown

Any fool can have a trophy wife.
It takes a real man to have a trophy marriage.

 Why is it that people get married?
Because we need a witness to our lives.
There's a billion people on the planet.
What does any one life really mean?
But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything ...
The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things,
All of it ... all the time, every day.
You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.
Your life will not go unwitnessed - because I will be your witness.
- Wife in the movie, "Shall We Dance?" 2004



Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
- I Corinthians 13:7

- George Foreman


You must intensify and render continuous by repeatedly presenting with suggestive ideas and mental pictures of the feast of good things, and the flowing fountain, which awaits the successful achievement or attainment of the desires.

As long as you know what it is you desire, then by simply affirming that it is yours -- firmly and positively, with no ifs, buts, or maybes -- over and over again, from the minute you arise in the morning until the time you go to sleep at night, and as many times during the day as your work or activities permit, you will be drawn to those people, places, and events that will bring your desires to you.
- Scott Reed 


When faced with a challenge, look for a way,
not a way out.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

 If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do. If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect your feelings and needs. “Busy” is another word for “asshole.” “Asshole” is another word for the guy you’re dating.

Quotes About Life And Death

Quotes About Life And Death

The conscience of death accompanies us since childhood, as conscience of the absolute destruction of the only precious treasure of ours: our I.
- E. Morin

In endowing us with memory, nature has revealed to us a truth utterly unimaginable to the unreflective creation, the truth of immortality... The most ideal human passion is love, which is also the most absolute and animal and one of the most ephemeral.
- George Santayana

Unlike man, animals, so to speak, live without knowing death. The individual animal enjoys fully the immutability of its gender, being conscious of itself only as an immortal being.
- Arthur Schopenhauer


"Who am I?" Maybe you've never even asked yourself this question. You might think you already know who you are. Unfortunately, however, it's likely that you don't know who you are at all. And if you don't know your real identity, you're in trouble. You'll spend your life in a kind of dream state—you'll falsely identify yourself as something or someone you aren't. Then, on the basis of this false identification, you'll determine the goals of your life and the purpose of your existence. You use these goals to gauge whether you are making "progress" in life, whether you are a "success." And you are aided and abetted in this delusion by a complex network of relationships with other dreamers. Of course, at death (and sometimes before), the whole thing turns into a nightmare
The anguish of death hangs over and leads the human spirit to wonder about the mysteries of existence, man’s destiny, life, the world.
- E. Morin


The certainty of death and the uncertainty of the hour of death is a source of grief throughout our life.
- E. Morin

Death is never a trick; nature doesn’t play a comedy; instead, it’s a tragic, colossal and unstoppable drama.
- L. Fuerbach

The irresistible and incessant stream of time carries all creations in its wave, throwing them into the depths of obscurity, regardless of whether they are trivial or, on the contrary, notable and important.
- Ann Comnena

The earth that's nature's mother is her tomb.
- Shakespeare

She died or vanished somewhere, forgotten as a nameless number on a list which was subsequently mislaid.
- Boris Pasternak

Death frights us. Death is a perpetual torment, for which there is no sort of consolation. There is no way by which it may not reach us. We may continually turn our heads this way and that, as if in a suspected country, but we can’t forget death.
- Montaigne

Men come, go, sing and dance, without uttering a word about death. All this is very fine: but, when it comes either to themselves, their wives, their children, or their friends, taking them unawares and unprepared, then what torment, what outcries, what madness and despair.
- Montaigne

Man is a being that knows death, but can’t believe it.
- E. Morin
