Family
Where is home? Home is where the heart can laugh without shyness. Home is where the heart’s tears can dry at their own place. Vernon G. Baker
Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future. Gail Lumet Buckley
The beauty of family brings us cherished memories we wish to hold forever; for it is through our memories that our hearts find their way home. Flavia
Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. Oliver Wendell Holmes
The best security blanket a child can have is parents who respect each other. Jan Blaustone
The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you. Kendall Hailey
Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it - and some of your spouse's family does too. Anonymous
Family jokes, though rightly cursed by strangers, are the bond that keeps most families alive. Stella Benson
A man's home may be his castle on the outside, but it is his nursery inside. Barbara Melton
Home ain't a place that gold can buy or get up in a minute;
Afore it's home there's got t' be a heap o' livin' in it;
Within the walls there's got t' be some babies born, and then
Right there ye've got t' bring 'em up t'women good, an' men;
And gradjerly, as time goes on, ye find ye wouldn't part
With anything they ever used - they've grown into yer heart:
The old high chairs, the playthings, too, the little shoes they wore
Ye hoard; an' if ye could ye'd keep the thumb marks on the door.
-Edgar Guest-
Love builds the house on rock and not on sand. Love laughs while the winds rave desperately. Christina Rossetti

Money can build a house, but it takes love to make it a home. Author Unknown
A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams. Author Unknown
We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us worthy of. George Chapman
He that can only boast of a distinguished lineage, boast of that which does not belong to himself; but he that lives worthily of it is always held in the highest honor. Junius
It would be more honorable to our distinguished ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more. Horace Mann
Birth is nothing where virtue is not. Moliere (Jean Baptiste Poquelin)
Consider whether we ought not to be more in the habit of seeking honor from our descendants than from our ancestors; thinking it better to be nobly remembered than nobly born; and striving so to live, that our sons, and our sons’ sons, for ages to come, might still lead their children reverently to the doors out of which we had been carried to the grave, saying, Look, this was his house, this was his chamber. John Ruskin
There is no such thing as fun for the whole family. Jerry Seinfeld
