Quotes about Family and Life
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs,
and returns home to find it.
- George Moore
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.
- Jane Howard
Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice.
It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.
- Reinhold Niebuhr
A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
- John Bowring
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.

- Mario Puzo
- 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 KennedyThe strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.

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. You deserve a fcking phone call.

Quotes About Life And Death
Quotes About Life And Death
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 certainty of death and the uncertainty of the hour of death is a source of grief throughout our life.
- E. Morin
- Epicurus
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.
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
The conscience of death accompanies us since childhood, as conscience of the absolute destruction of the only precious treasure of ours: our I.

The anguish of death hangs over and leads the human spirit to wonder about the mysteries of existence, man’s destiny, life, the world.
