I like football. I find its an exciting strategic game. Its a great way to avoid conversation with your family at Thanksgiving.
- quote by Craig Ferguson
I love playing and chatting with children...feeding and putting them to bed with a little story, and being away from the family has troubled me throughout my...life. i like relaxing at the house, reading quietly, taking in the sweet smell that comes from the pots, sitting around a table with the family and taking out my wife and children. when you can no longer enjoy these simple pleasures something valuable is taken away from your life and you feel it in your daily work.
- quote by Nelson Mandela
I sustain myself with the love of family.
- quote by Maya Angelou
I was with a friend of mine recently who was dying and while he was lying there with his family around his bed, I just knew that was it, that was the best you can hope for in life - to have your family and the people who love you around you at the end.
- quote by Ewan McGregor
I'm allergic to family occasions. Sometimes I think we'd do better as dandelion seeds-no family, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff.
- quote by Sophie Kinsella
I'm not sure if I know any 'functional' families, if functional means a family without difficult times and members who don't have a full range of problems.
- quote by David Sheff
If I knew something useful to me and harmful to my family, I should put it out of my mind. If I knew something useful to my family and not to my country, I should try to forget it. If I knew something useful to my country and harmful to Europe, or useful to Europe and harmful to the human race, I should consider it a crime.
- quote by Charles de Montesquieu
If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband's family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick. . . But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn't she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye?
- quote by Lisa See
If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
- quote by George Bernard Shaw
In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.
- quote by Alex Haley
