Family love is messy, clinging, and of an annoying and repetitive pattern, like bad wallpaper.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Family makes a house a home.
‐‐ Jennifer Hudson
Family matters, friends matter, love matters. Those you love and who love you matter. That's what writing does - it allows you to say all those things.
‐‐ Richard Flanagan
Family matters should be that and stay in the family.
‐‐ Thalia
Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.
‐‐ David Ogden Stiers
Family, nature and health all go together.
‐‐ Olivia Newton-John
Family or love or romance, whatever it is, is not restricted to perfect people. If it were, it wouldn't exist. All of that comes out in my work in some way.
‐‐ Sara Zarr
Family ownership provides the independence that is sometimes required to withstand governmental pressure and preserve freedom of the press.
‐‐ Katharine Graham
Family photo albums are so powerful in that they make kids feel valued, cherished and respected.
‐‐ Nancy O'Dell
Family preparedness has been a long-established welfare principle.
‐‐ Ezra Taft Benson
Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds, they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material.
‐‐ F. Scott Fitzgerald
Family relationships trigger childhood wounds, and those wounds often trump our rational thinking. We can't 'rationally' transcend the kind of primal pain that such relationships can arouse.
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
Family responsibility, yes, and always. Family bankruptcy due to the cruel rules of government, no.
‐‐ Barbara Mikulski
Family's first, and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.
‐‐ Serena Williams
'Family Secrets' is thought provoking, well written, and remorselessly intelligent.
‐‐ Jane Ridley
Family tends to be one of the recurring themes in my fiction.
‐‐ Sharon Shinn
'Family Ties' was a very successful situation comedy. And, in almost every respect, it functioned on a day to day basis like a well-run, well conditioned basketball team. The show was performed live each week in front of a studio audience on Friday night.
‐‐ Gary David Goldberg
Family time is really important to me.
‐‐ Chad Smith
Family time was very difficult when my girls were little, but I never missed a birthday; I was there for every major event.
‐‐ Jeff Dunham
Family to me is foundation. It's the people that you can call on whether you love them or hate them. When push comes to shove, they're there for you, and that's kind of how this family is.
‐‐ Constance Marie
Family, to me, is most important, and I can't wait to have one of my own, but I am not going to rush into it. I don't want to get a divorce. I want to take my time, do it once and get it right.
‐‐ Drew Fuller
Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world.
‐‐ Susan Lieberman
Family transcends the flesh. You don't love someone because they look like you, you love their spirit; it's the soul connection.
‐‐ Christine Ebersole
Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures.
‐‐ Paul D. Boyer
Family violence is a criminal act; perpetrators, while often former victims themselves, need to accept culpability.
‐‐ Leslie Morgan Steiner
Family was real important in putting me on my path. I'm so blessed to come from a home with a mother and a father.
‐‐ Chris Paul
Family, work, familiarity. Listen, if I had a magic wand and I could make myself really be happy, I'd zap me onto a farm. And I know nothing about farming.
‐‐ Scott Baio
Famine emerges from a lack of interlocal trade; when one locality's food crop fails, since there is virtually no trade with other localities, the bulk of the people starve. It is precisely the permeation of the free market throughout the world that has virtually ended this scourge of famine by permitting trade between areas.
‐‐ Murray Rothbard
Famine has wreaked havoc in Ethiopia for so long , it would be stupid not to be sensitive to the risk of such things occurring. But there has not been a famine on our watch - emergencies, but no famines.
‐‐ Meles Zenawi
Famous, adj.: Conspicuously miserable.
‐‐ Ambrose Bierce
Famous crime stories almost always lead to the passing of new laws.
‐‐ Bill James
Famous doesn't mean anything. Just because people know my face doesn't mean they know us or that it makes us any more interesting or better.
‐‐ Melissa McCarthy
Famous for his 'Maverick' Western series in the 1950s and 'The Rockford Files' in the '70s, and in movies like 'The Great Escape' and 'Grand Prix' in between, James Garner played amiable, independent characters for more than a half-century and never lost his comforting, enduring appeal.
‐‐ Richard Corliss
Famous is celebrityism, and I don't want that... I know that I'm not that. Everybody knows who you are. I can't imagine living that life, but I don't think I consider myself famous.
‐‐ Robin Wright
Famous old houses seem to have an intuitive perception of the value of corner lots. If it is a possible thing, they always set themselves down on the most desirable spots.
‐‐ Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, 'Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?'
‐‐ Don Rickles
Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.
‐‐ Helena Bonham Carter
Famous people complain about fame, but they never want to give it back, myself included.
‐‐ Erica Jong
Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave, not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can't be on top all the time, it isn't natural.
‐‐ Olivia De Havilland
Famous pivot stories are often failures but you don't need to fail before you pivot. All a pivot is is a change is strategy without a change in vision. Whenever entrepreneurs see a new way to achieve their vision - a way to be more successful - they have to remain nimble enough to take it.
‐‐ Eric Ries
Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly.
‐‐ Simeon Strunsky
Famously, Anne Boleyn was not a beauty: she was more about quirkiness and an innate sensuality, and there are a lot of references to her eyes. Which sends out a great message for women, because life is not about the aesthetic all the time.
‐‐ Natalie Dormer
Famously cancer fighting, laden with vitamins, minerals, soluble fiber, and phytonutrients, broccoli and its relatives are among the healthiest ingredients of the human diet.
‐‐ Kate Christensen
Famously, I'm somewhat impatient.
‐‐ Gordon Brown
Famously, the CIA is somewhere where marriages hardly ever last because it's obviously such a strange lifestyle.
‐‐ Chris Terrio
Famously, there's not really anywhere to go after nihilism. It's not progressing toward anything, it's a statement of outrage, however brilliant.
‐‐ Alan Moore
Fan Luv is a powerful positive movement. All over the world they come. It's a force of luv.
‐‐ DJ Khaled
Fan mail is one thing, but fans you meet in person are a different matter entirely.
‐‐ Audrey Meadows
Fan reactions are crazy sometimes.
‐‐ OMI
Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.
‐‐ Charles Dickens
