Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"My best friend is the most important girl, outside of family, to me. I met her when I went to college and we bonded immediately. I'd do anything for her at any time. We phone each other every day."

"My mom always told me one of the reasons that she was really happy in her life was that, if Dad never worked again, she was confident that she could support the family."
Quote by -Bryce Dallas
“The sacred is in the ordinary...it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own backyard...travel may be a flight from confronting the scared--this lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“What is prudence in the conduct of every private family can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“When the landlord, annuitant, or monied man, has a greater revenue than what he judges sufficient to maintain his own family, he employs either the whole or a part of the surplus in maintaining one or more menial servants. Increase this surplus, and he will naturally increase the number of those servants.”
Quote by -Adam Smith
“when a people or family so divide, it never fails to be against themselves”
Quote by -Alexander Hamilton
“A dog reflects the family life. Whoever saw a frisky dog in a gloomy family, or a sad dog in a happy one? Snarling people have snarling dogs, dangerous people have dangerous ones.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
I do have a family, and I do have friends, and so-called friends, and acquaintances, and many other people I see only around Christmas time. Maybe they could vouch for me. Maybe they could testify to my existence and save a part of me that thinks I'm no better than a bag of potato chips.
Quote by -Macaulay Culkin
We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.
Quote by -Zinedine Zidane
We can work together for a better world with men and women of goodwill, those who radiate the intrinsic goodness of humankind. To do so effectively, the world needs a global ethic with values which give meaning to life experiences and, more than religious institutions and dogmas, sustain the non-material dimension of humanity. Mankind's universal values of love, compassion, solidarity, caring and tolerance should form the basis for this global ethic which should permeate culture, politics, trade, religion and philosophy. It should also permeate the extended family of the United Nations.
Quote by -Wangari Maathai
We're in a tough situation because of teenage children, and then we have a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old, so my family and my responsibilities is sort of a juggle.
Quote by -Wayne Gretzky
My family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic. I don't believe in man-made religions.
Quote by -Whoopi Goldberg
It is now clear to me that the family is a microcosm of the world. To understand the world, we can study the family: issues such as power, intimacy, autonomy, trust, and communication skills are vital parts underlying how we live in the world. To change the world is to change the family.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
In the nurturing family...parents see themselves as empowering leaders not as authoritative bosses. They see their job primarily as one of teaching their children how to be truly human in all situations. They readily acknowledge to the child their poor judgment as well as their good judgment; their hurt, anger, or disappointment as well as their joy. The behavior of these parents matches what they say.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
Rearing a family is probably the most difficult job in the world. It resembles two business firms merging their respective resources to make a single product. All the potential headaches of that operation are present when an adult male and an adult female join to steer a child from infancy to adulthood.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
Families and societies are small and large versions of one another. Both are made up of people who have to work together, whose destinies are tied up with one another. Each features the components of a relationship: leaders perform roles relative to the led, the young to the old, and male to female; and each is involved with the process of decision-making, use of authority, and the seeking of common goals.
Quote by -Virginia Satir
I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children.
Quote by -Vladimir Putin
I was brought up in a very ordinary family, in fact, a worker's family. Both my father and mother were ordinary citizens.
Quote by -Vladimir Putin
At the end of the day, I got to live my life for my family, for my children, and I'm going to do what's best for them.
Quote by -Clifford Joseph Harris Jr
I'm healthy, have a loving and adorable family, great hunting dogs, a gravity defying musical career and most importantly, fuzzy-headed idiots hate me.
Quote by -Ted Nugent
I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.
Quote by -Tom Cruise
Perhaps that's what all human relationships boil down to: Would you save my life? or would you take it?
Quote by -Toni Morrison
I think I can always look back and say my mom and dad would have done this or suggested that in a particular situation. I just really feel blessed to have had them as parents.
Quote by -Tony Dungy
