Behold the man who shields his family from all suffering. Has not his body become a willing vessel for affliction? Without good men to hold it up, the family house will fall when misfortune descends. [TIRUKKURAL 103:1029-30]

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 harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden. [GAUTAMA BUDDHA]

In the Kingdom of Heaven, true love is fulfilled centered on parental love…. The family is the original base of true love…. [SUN MYUNG MOON]

Your family is your first frame of reference…. You should avail of every kind of lesson that you receive from your family. [MAULANA QAHIDUDDIN KHAN]
