Family Quotes

Having just spent time with our 5 children and their families, and with 8 of my 9 siblings, I was elated to see that the December Reader's Digest had a page of quotes about families. Here are some of my favorites:




"Families are about love overcoming emotional torture." - Matt Groening






"A happy family is but an earlier heaven." - Sir John Bowring



"There is no such thing as fun for the whole family." - Jerry Seinfeld



"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because 5 minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'You know, we're all right. We are dang near royalty.'"
- you guessed it, Jeff Foxworthy





And the lyrics from a song by Barry Hansen:

The song's chorus says it all:

I'm a celebrity in my family,

I'm a hero in my home,

I'm in high demand almost all the time

By the fans that I love most.

On the movie screens and the magazines

You won't find my face,

But I'm appearing live almost every night

In my favorite place.
