We don't have the family organization the way we used to. My father lives with us because we have the room. The greatest of all opportunities for our children is a complete family unit.
Historically, the family has played the primary role in educating children for life, with the school providing supplemental scaffolding to the family.
The family was not only the social unit, but also the unit of government.
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.
To me, family is everything. I want children to realize how important their families are and what a support system a family is.
The family has a social function and so it should be sustained.
Let us nurture the practice of family values, by embracing policies that value families.
The family exists in order to allow women to have children and to have the protection of a male who takes care of them.

The family teaches us about the importance of knowledge, education, hard work and effort. It teaches us about enjoying ourselves, having fun, keeping fit and healthy.
