90 Best Family Quotes That Sum Up Your Unbreakable Bond
Sweet and funny sayings that prove blood really is thicker than water.
Families are certainly complicated — anyone can tell you that — but at the end of the day, they're the people you can depend on, the people who love you, the people who have your back and offer support in the bad times and celebration in the good. And even if there are moments where they annoy us a bit too much (we've all been there) or disagreements break out, with strong family bonds you know that inevitably you'll all come together and move past any minor tiffs — something that, in a way, is what makes family different from friends, acquaintances, coworkers and other people in your life.
That's why when it comes to finding the perfect thing to write in your sister's birthday card, a thoughtful Father's Day message, or a heartwarming expression of gratitude for your mom, any old saying just won't do. But these family quotes, which capture the loving and sweet energy everyone can relate to and even the funny complexities of family life, absolutely fit the bill.
Look to writers like Maya Angelou, poets like Henry David Thoreau and other thought leaders like Mother Teresa for inspiration when you can't find the right words that describe how you feel. You don't even need a special occasion to share a few of your favorites.
Send one to someone you're close with, and let them know how they've made you into the person you are today, or use one to help reconnect with someone you've lost touch with to help you reconnect.
