Family Quotes
	John Adams	Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.
	Elias Boudinot	Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow.
	Buddha	A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
	Barbara Bush	Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but what happens inside your house.
	Dr. Ben Carson	The more solid the family foundation, the more likely you are to be able to resist peer pressure. Human beings are social creatures. We all want to belong, we all have that desire, and we will belong, one way or another. If the family doesn’t provide that, the peers will, or a gang will, or you will find something to belong to. That’s why it becomes so critical for families with young children to understand what a critical anchor they are.
	Dr. G. Brock Chisolm	To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas.
	Alexis de Tocqueville	In America, more than anywhere else in the world, care has been taken constantly to trace clearly distinct spheres of action for the two sexes, and both are required to keep in step, but along paths that are never the same.
	Albert Einstein	A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
	James Anthony Froude	English character and English freedom depend comparatively little on the form which the Constitution assumes at Westminster. A centralised democracy may be as tyrannical as an absolute monarch; and if the vigour of the nation is to continue unimpaired, each individual, each family, each district, must preserve as far as possible its independence, its self-completeness, its powers and its privilege to manage its own affairs and think its own thoughts.
	Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi	Men ... should do their actual living and working in communities ... small enough to permit of genuine self-government and the assumption of personal responsibilities, federated into larger units in such a way that the temptation to abuse great power should not arise. The larger (structurally) a democracy grows, the less becomes the rule of the people and the smaller is the say of individuals and localised groups in dealing with their own destinies. Moreover, love and affection, are essentially personal relationships. Consequently, it is only in small groups that Charity, in the Pauline sense of the word, can manifest itself. Needless to say, the smallness of the group, in no way guarantees the emergence of Charity. In a large undifferentiated group, the possibility does not even exist, for the simple reason that most of its members cannot, in the nature of things, have personal relations with one another.
	John Taylor Gatto	Government schooling is the most radical adventure in history. It kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood and by teaching disrespect for home and parents....
	Alexander Hamilton	The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice, and on the love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education, and family. The opinion advanced in Notes on Virginia [by Thomas Jefferson] is undoubtedly correct, that foreigners will generally be apt to bring with them attachments to the persons they have left behind; to the country of their nativity, and to its particular customs and manners. They will also entertain opinions on government congenial with those under which they have lived; or, if they should be led hither from a preference to ours, how extremely unlikely is it that they will bring with them that temperate love of liberty, so essential to real republicanism?
	Albert S. Herlong, Jr.	[Communist Goals for America:]\\ - Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”\\ - Control schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda.\\ - Soften curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put party line in textbooks. Control student newspapers.\\ - Infiltrate churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion (i.e. “social justice,” “liberation theology”).\\ - Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”\\ - Discredit American culture.\\ - Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and divorce.\\ - Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.\\
	Adolf Hitler	The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life.
	Herbert Hoover	Freedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only if he is free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents, free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security of his old age and his family.
	Mike Huckabee	I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.
	Robert G. Ingersoll	Love is the only bow on Life's dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart -- builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody -- for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.
	Thomas Jefferson	I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give.
	Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.	I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.' ... I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
	Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.	The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
	Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.	This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning,\\ "My country, 'tis of thee,\\ sweet land of liberty,\\ of thee I sing.\\ Land where my fathers died,\\ land of the pilgrim's pride,\\ from every mountainside,\\let freedom ring."\\ And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.\\ So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.\\ Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.\\ Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!\\ Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!\\ Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!\\ But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!\\ Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!\\ Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi.\\ From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
	Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.	The group consisting of mother, father and child is the main educational agency of mankind.
	Vladimir Ilyich Lenin	Destroy the family, you destroy the country.
	Bernard H. Levin	If we expected self-reliance of family groups, if we expected hardiness and resilience and initiative on the part of individuals, and if we rewarded initiative instead of dependence on government, we would not only ameliorate many of the family-related social problems we see at present, but we would also reduce our vulnerability to terrorism. People who are hardy, resilient, and self reliant are a lot harder to terrorize.
	Horace Mann	We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause.
	William R. Mattox, Jr.	In 1950, the average family of four paid 2% of its earnings to federal taxes. Today it pays 24%.
	Peter McWilliams	That the religious right completely took over the word Christian is a given. At one time, phrases such as Christian charity and Christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. To perform a "Christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. Now, Christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- Christian nation, Christian morality, Christian values, Christian family.
	Archibald D. Murphey	It is important therefore that in these schools the precepts of morality and religion should be inculcated, and habits of subordination and obedience formed. One of the greatest blessings which the State can confer upon her children is to instill into their minds at an early period moral and religious truths. ... Thousands of unfortunate children are growing up in perfect ignorance of their moral and religious duties. Their parents equally unfortunate know not how to instruct them, and have not the opportunity or ability of placing them under the care of those who could give them instruction. The State, in the warmth of her affection and solicitude for their welfare, must take charge of those children and place them in schools where their minds can be enlightened and their hearts can be trained to virtue.
	National Education Association Resolution	The National Education Association believes that home schooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience.
	Nebraska Constitution	All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain inherent and unalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home and others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use, and all other lawful purposes, and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof.
	New Mexico Constitution	No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.
	P. J. O'Rourke	The term consumerism has been current since the middle 1960s, about the same length of time as the Department of Transportation itself. Literally interpreted, the word means 'an ideology based on the opposite of being productive.' This ideology has caused enormous changes in the American economy. At one time complaining was a cottage industry. The typical maker of complaints gave them to (or traded them with) friends and family members. Sometimes the complaints were sent to newspapers or included in prayers. Friends, family, the press and God then ignored the complaints. In the sixties, however, various consumer advocates began to help complainers find a market for their wares. There is only one organization that is required to take everyone -- and their complaints -- seriously. So the government became the foremost grumble customer. And it is, of course, the government's bureaucratic agencies who have to do the buying.
	Thomas Paine	For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever.
	Sir Walter Raleigh	A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family; and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.
	Ronald Reagan	As we celebrate Thanksgiving ... we should ask what we can do as individuals to demonstrate our gratitude to God for all He has done. Such reflection can only add to the significance of this precious day of remembrance. Let us recommit ourselves to that devotion to God and family that has played such an important role in making this a great Nation, and which will be needed as a source of strength if we are to remain a great people.
	Lisa Schiffen	Families would be in better shape if our tax code didn’t push married mothers who wish to raise their own children into the labor force, in large part to pay for a welfare state that encourages unskilled, unmarried teenagers to bear illegitimate children the rest of us must support.
	George Bernard Shaw	If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
	John Swett	[T]he child should be taught to consider his instructor... superior to the parent in point of authority.... The vulgar impression that parents have a legal right to dictate to teachers is entirely erroneous.... Parents have no remedy as against the teacher.
	John Swett	As a general thing the only persons who have a legal right to give orders to the teacher are his employers, namely, the committee in some States, and in others the directors or trustees. If his conduct is approved by his employers the parents have no remedy as against him or them.
	John Swett	The vulgar impression that parents have a legal right to dictate to teachers is entirely erroneous.
	Robert A. Taft	When I say liberty…I mean liberty of the individual to think his own thoughts and live his own life as he desires to think and live; the liberty of the family to decide how they wish to live, what they wanted to eat for breakfast and for dinner, and how they wish to spend their time; liberty of a man to develop his ideas and get other people to teach those ideas, if he can convince them that they have some value to the world…
	J. C. Watts, Jr.	For the past 30 years our nation’s spent $5 trillion trying to erase poverty, and the result, as you know, is that we didn’t get rid of it at all. In fact, we spread it. We destroyed the self-esteem of millions of people, grinding them down in a welfare system that penalizes moms for wanting to marry the father of their children, and penalizes moms for wanting to save money. Friends, that’s not right.
