Sara Paddison, Hidden Power of the Heart
We are one big family of people, trying to make our way through the unfolding puzzle of life. We are all connected to one another in the heart. Connecting with the ultimate source of love is possible through discovering the hidden power in your heart.

Elizabeth Stone
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart walking around outside your body.

Gail Lumet Buckley
Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present and future.

Carl Sandburg
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.

Martin Mull
Having a family is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain.

Lyndon Baines Johnson
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.

Don Marquis
I would rather start a family than finish one.

George Santayana
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

Unknown
None but a mule denies his family.

Robert Frost
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended — and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.

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

Chinese proverb
To understand your parents' love, you must raise children yourself
