The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job to teach. His first school his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him.

Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women.

Thinking back to those earlier days I felt I was weak when I wasn't making movies and then when I was I thought I was weak as a family member.

My father was the center of the family and everyone tried to please him.

I sang in the choir for years even though my family belonged to another church.

I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then all of a sudden my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding.

My friends ask me why I still live with my family but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.

The last thing family and friends want is for you to spend money on them that you don't have or that you can't really spare.

My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy because my mother kept a great deal to herself.

I have been called a nun with a switchblade where my privacy is concerned. I think there's a point where one says that's for family that's for me.

I'm worried about that man or woman sitting around - the coffee table tonight or in their kitchen talking about how are we going to get to work. How are we going to have the dignity to take care of our family.

In a big family the first child is kind of like the first pancake. If it's not perfect that's okay there are a lot more coming along.

The family wage has been eroded by the same developments that have promoted consumerism as a way of life.

It is no longer an unwritten law of American capitalism that industry will attempt to maintain wages at a level that allows a single wage to support a family.

If anything interferes with my inner peace I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.

Studies have shown that since women have had access to the pill and family planning measures they have made huge gains in both wages and in careers that were dominated by men.

Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.

I know it's a cliche but the whole family is just whacked. I mean we're all out of our minds. They're the funniest most eccentric bizarre people I've ever met my siblings.

I want to do as little as possible when I finish playing ball - just spend a lot more time with my family.

Except for naval and air exercises our military should be stationed on American soil where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.

Because of my own family's service (in the U.S. Army Navy and Massachusetts and New York National Guard) I am a strong supporter of the military and do believe that there are just wars.

You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.

There's an honesty in our family - my kids and I are able to talk about things without me putting the fear of God into them.

I do believe at the end of the night when you're with your family the character gets hung up on the door like a coat and is there to be taken on the next morning.
