I believe that more unhappiness comes from this source than from any other - I mean from the attempt to prolong family connections unduly and to make people hang together artificially who would never naturally do so.

Families break up when people take hints you don't intend and miss hints you do intend.

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

When you deal with your brother, be pleasant, but get a witness.

Sacred family!... The supposed home of all the virtues, where innocent children are tortured into their first falsehoods, where wills are broken by parental tyranny, and self-respect smothered by crowded, jostling egos.

The parents' age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety.

If you want to trace your family tree, all you have to do is to run for public office.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

When brothers agree, no fortress is so strong as their common life.

I believe that more unhappiness comes from this source than from any other-I mean from the attempt to prolong family connections unduly and to make people hang together artificially who would never naturally do so.
