92 Best Family Quotes That Hit All The Way Home

Family

How would you describe your family? Are you tight-knit to the extent of meeting regularly or do you only meet after years when there's a funeral? Families are different and each family is unique.

Some families live close together and meet during all main holidays from New Year to Thanksgiving. They also check on one another with regular phone calls and keep up with each other on social media.

It's not rare to find cousins or siblings who are not only family but also best friends by choice. The tight bonds they share by blood extend to emotional bonds of friendship.

However, not all families are that close. Some families are dysfunctional and if yours is, it's not your fault. You may wish your family was close just like other families are.

Maybe you had a troubled childhood with toxic parents who were never there for you. The way you are raised plays a great role in who you grow up to be. Most dysfunctional homes will affect the mental and emotional health of the child.

Children from such homes grow up differently from children in loving families where everything is shared and love runs deep. Sometimes parents do hurt their children without intending to.

They may not know how to love their children right or discipline them appropriately. Most times the way they raise their children seems right in their eyes even when the outside world views it as wrong.

No matter how dysfunctional your family is, you can always choose to be better as an individual. You don't need to keep living your life carrying that hurt and blaming the person you are today for the past you had.

You can choose to grow from that and vow to have a better family of your own. Here are family quotes that are inspiring, encouraging, and motivating!

Something had happened. The bath towels knew it, the bathtub and the toilet knew it. My father turned and walked out the door. He knew it. It was my last beating. From him.

I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time and I think that's why we were brothers - because you did too. No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or half way across the world, you'll always be with me. And you'll always be my brother.

Head Chef: Noooooo! This is inexcusable! I thought I'd seen to it that the young master's cuisine would be served with the hot foods hot and the cold foods cold. Only my complete lack of confidence as a chef could allow such a lukewarm dish to be served to you. I beg your forgivene-e-e-e-e-ess! May I be cut into a thousand pieces for this egregious act! Hostess: No, it's MY fault. I've clearly waited too long to serve your meal. Head Chef: No, it was MY fault! Hostess: It was MY fault! Head Chef: No, it was MINE! Tohru Honda: By any chance are those two... Yuki Sohma: Related? Yes, they're cousins. It's amazing the family resemblance.

If you try singling me out to my mother, she’ll be down your throat. She has three sons, and she’s equally proud of us all.

Looks like we have another addition to the family. Hmmm, you’ve got quite a nasty spell on you too, huh? Seems everyone in this family’s got problems.

Kyo’s father: She loved you. She loved you more than anything else in the world! Kyo Sohma: STOP IT, YOU’RE WRONG! Don’t force that love on me. I don’t need it. I don’t.

Shigure, Kyo and I will be going to the main house tonight. I'm sorry. I really should've explained earlier. It's sort of a Sohma family tradition. I, uh... I guess it was just such an obvious thing to us that we'd be going that we completely forgot to mention it.

I have a new home living here with the Sohmas, and I have the two most wonderful friends in the whole world who care about me so so much. Just knowing that I can always count on you to be there for me, and how much strength that gives me, I'm already so lucky. If I'm not thankful for what I have, I'd just be asking for it.

No, no, it's all right. If you don't mind letting the last of the wonderful beef stew that Tohru put her heart and soul into preparing for us get burned to a crisp, then neither do I. After all, I suppose burnt beef stew will be just as satisfying as burnt miso soup or burnt rice or burnt eggs or any of the fine burnt dishes Yuki used to make for us before Tohru fell into our lives. Ah, yes, we all seem to do quite well on our charcoal-rich diet. I'm sure there's no reason we all won't grow accustomed to it again.

I... I was sad that I was born possessed by a vengeful spirit. After all... When I was young... My parents often fought because of me. Whenever I saw Mama crying by herself afterwards, it made me really sad.

But it's not surprising that Yuki didn't say anything... As you've seen, we didn't get along. It maybe more accurate to say we're "not close." we're ten years apart... And soon after Yuki was born, he was isolated because of his illness. It was so bad, I only remembered in passing that I even HAD a brother.

Everyday... Akito would come to deny everything. In a pitch dark room, I would listen to pitch dark words. My mother and father wouldn't come for me. Neither would Nii-san. In the dark room... What I imagined... WHAT... I WANTED...

The other members of the zodiac seemed to have so much pain... But I'm DIFFERENT. Papa and mama are DIFFERENT. We always have fun. We're always smiling and happy. It was just like... We were inside a PLAY. With just that... One question... The play... Came to an end. Even though... They hated me... Even though... I was a burden... They PUSHED themselves. They were ALWAYS pushing themselves. They pushed themselves... And in the end... They BROKE... And could never... Go back. They said... They didn't really want me... I'm scared. Haru... I'm scared. I'M SO SCARED... I CAN'T TAKE IT! I'll never forget that feeling, every time I entered my house... That feeling... Of praying with all my heart. Of wondering if they were in a good mood... Or if they still hated me. I told myself I'd wait until it passes. Like a "thing" without feelings. Like a stone. Until the day, someday... When they'll... Forgive me. You will... Forgive me, won't you? We can go back... To the way things were, can't we?

“Yes. I was looking for Lettie. They were both very kind to me,” Percival said, “Even though they’d never seen me before. And Wizard Howl kept visiting to court Lettie. Lettie didn’t want him, and she asked me to bite him to get rid of him, until Howl suddenly began asking her about you and—“ “What?” He said, “I know someone called Sophie who looks a little like you.. And Lettie said, that’s my sister,’ without thinking,” Percival said. “And she got terribly worried then, particularly as Howl went on asking about her sister.”

Owen Shaw: A street kid, starts out stealing DVD players in East L.A., ends up heisting $100 million in Rio. Dom: Not bad, huh? Owen Shaw: It's a good story, isn't it? Almost inspiring. See, what I couldn't fathom is why he's not relaxing on a beach somewhere with that cute little Brazilian number. Instead, he's working with a two-bit government hack like Hobbs. And then I realized, he has a weak spot. Dom: We all got a weak spot. Owen Shaw: You know, when I was young, my brother always used to say, "Every man has to have a code." Mine: Precision. A team is nothing but pieces you switch out until you get the job done. It's efficient. It works. But you? You're loyal to a fault. Your code is about family. And that's great in the holidays, but it makes you predictable. And in our line of work, predictable means vulnerable. And that means I can reach out and break you whenever I want. Dom: At least when I go, I'll know what it's for. Owen Shaw: Well, at least you have a code. Most men don't. So, I'm going to give you a chance: Take your crew and walk away. That's the only way you're going to keep your family safe. Dom: Your brother never told you never to threaten a man's family? It's a pretty stupid thing to do. But I'll make it simple for you: I walk away when she walks away.

Kyoko Honda: I'm so happy you're here. I really am. And you know Tohru, everyday you've been here since the day you were born, I've a reason to smile. Tohru Honda: But I'm always here silly, you're my mommy. I was born to be with you. Kyoko Honda: Well I guess that's why I'm always happy!

The week before I left my family and Florida and the rest of my minor life to go to boarding school in Alabama, my mother insisted on throwing me a going away party. To say that I had low expectations would be to underestimate the matter dramatically.

I recommend you leave that house and have nothing more to do with the Sohma family. Shigure being who he is, I’m sure he left you in the dark. You see, the Sohma family continues to be possessed by vengeful spirits. We’re not the jolly bunch you probably imagine. We are bizarre, devious, and cursed. Before you regret getting involved with this family, get out now. Akito is attempting to use you.

Maybe she did bring you into the world and raise you. But just 'cos she's your "family" doesn't mean it's okay for her to do or say whatever she wants. It's never okay. Expecting someone to smile and say thank you to their family, when that "family" is just stepping all over them - that's just abuse. It's just a curse.

The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life. These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation.

I remember the first time seeing myself on TV, when my family was watching the documentary 'Eyes on the Prize' for the first time. There were pictures of people going up the school stairs, and Mom said, 'Oh, that's you!' I said, 'I can't believe this. This is important.'

‘Don’t interrupt,’ one of the boys said. ‘He’ll lose his life.’ Seeing it was a matter of life and death, Sophie and Michael backed toward the door. But Howl, quite unperturbed at killing his nephew, strode over to the wall and pulled the boxes up by the roots.

Can’t help but notice how much they stick together, too. I mean, when you see Mexicans in the States you think, ‘Oh, there’s a group of Mexicans doin’ Mexican things together,’ but here you see that it’s not just because they talk the same language, and are all Catholic. Family means a lot to these people. Relationships, husbands, wives, parents, all that shit.
