Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.
– Joseph Addison (1672-1719) British Essayist, Poet, Statesman
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
Pope John Paul II (1920-2005)
Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.
Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) American Theologian, Historian
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
John Keats (1795-1821)
Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself.
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) American Author, Humorist
