Family Quotes A-Z by Author |
To me, money is a means to do good. I reached
a point in my life where I had enjoyed tremendous
business success that afforded my family
everything we could possibly want. My wife
and I then decided that we could use our
wealth to make a difference. So we created
the Broad Foundations to do four things:
to improve urban public education, to support
innovative scientific and medical research,
to foster art appreciation for audiences
worldwide and to support civic initiatives
in Los Angeles.

While I am proud of a number of accomplishments,
there are real costs to being unreasonable.
Long hours. Too little time with family.
A near incapacity for, as they say, stopping
and smelling the roses.

The resentment that criticism engenders can demoralize employees, family

Personally, I have been very impressed by the slow food movement. It is about
celebrating the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary knowledge, developed
over millennia, of the traditions involved with quality food production, of the
sheer joy and pleasure of consuming food together. Especially within the context
of family life, this has to be one of the highest forms of cultural activity.

No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family's care.
But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families as they
cope with moral, social and economic stresses of caring for children.

On one level, going bust didn't bother me.
It was the 80s, and there wasn't the stigma
about bankruptcy that you might think. My
mates weren't bothered. My dad was in business..
he knew that it happened, too. He loaned
me the money to bail me out, and I got a
loan from the bank to pay him back.

Start by scrapping the tax code. Don't fiddle
with it. Junk it. Throw it out. Bury it.
Replace it with a pro-growth, pro-family
tax cut that lowers tax rates to 17% across
the board and expands exemptions for individuals
and children so that a family of four would
pay no taxes on the first $36,000 of income.

I'm serious when I do my work. I'm not serious when I'm home with my kids.
Bill
Gates - Work

Having kids has been a fantastic thing for me. It's meant that I'm a little
more balanced. In my twenties I worked massively, hardly took vacation at all.
Now, I, with the help of my wife, I'm always making sure I've got a good balance
of how I spend my time.

It's not enough to make time for your children. There are certain stages
in their lives when you have to give them the time when they want it. You can't
run your family like a company. It doesn't work.

Follow your own particular dreams. We are handed a life by peers, parents
and society, you can do that or follow your own dreams. Life is short, be a dreamer
but be a practical person.

I didn't want to repeat my parents' life. I saw in their lives a routine
and a lack of dreaming, a lack of the possibilities, a lack of passion. And I
didn't want to live without passion.

When you're a self-made man you start very early in life. In my case it was
at nine years old when I started bringing income into the family. You get a drive
that's a little different, maybe a little stronger, than somebody who inherited.

The right to private property meant at the same time the right and duty to
be personally concerned about your own well-being, to be personally concerned
about your family's income, to be personally concerned about your future. This
is hard work.

They talk about how hard coaches work. They work 18, 20 hours a day. They
sleep on a couch. They don't come home. You know, that's not the hard job. The
hard job is a coach's wife, believe me. The job of the coach's wife, she has to
be mother, father, driver, doctor, nurse, coach, everything, because the coach
is out there working.
John

As I look back now on my coaching career, I think of my family, I think of
the days that we spent together. I say this to coaches everywhere: If you ever
have a chance to take your kids with you, take them. Don't miss that opportunity.
Because when it's all over and done with, when you look back, those are going
to be your fondest memories.
John

I really wanted to retire and rest and spend
more time with my children, my grandchildren
and of course with my wife. But the problems
are such that for anybody with a conscience
who can use whatever influence he may have
to try to bring about peace, it's difficult
to say no.

Self actualizing people have a deep feeling
of identification, sympathy, and affection
for human beings in general. They feel kinship

Success means different things in different parts of my life, but overall if I
have to define ultimately what success means.. the bottom line.. then for me it’s
if the family is healthy and happy.

In my family, there were Kei and Minoru
and then there were the rest. Everyone in my family is very opinionated and everyone
tried to join the debate. But by the time my turn came, there was nothing left
to say. I couldn't keep pace, so I looked to do my own things.

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in
the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack,
or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.
They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren't
rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your
potential.

I grew up in a working class family where there was no health insurance. I
saw first hand the fracturing of the American dream and the bitterness that comes
when there is no hope and a lot of despair. So I wanted to build the company,
in a sense, that my father never got a chance to work for.

My mother was very involved with me. And we had a dialogue constantly. And
it was like an umbilical cord. As long as the words were flowing back and forth
we were connected and feeding each other. And I probably grew up very afraid of
losing that connection.

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those
close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve
the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your
home for this is where our love for each other must start.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money

Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater
developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time
for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home
begins the disruption of peace of the world.

Becoming wealthy is not a matter of how much you earn, who your parents are,

At home we have always regarded the dining table as the prime seat of learning.
We planned it so it was impossible to see or hear a TV from the table, and it
has paid dividends in the volume of ideas that have been shared over the evening
meal.

I think women have proved themselves beyond
a shadow of doubt that they are as capable
and as confident in delivering results.
The "B" word.. babies or biology
is a complicated one. Because it doesn't
mean that women can't do the work, it means
that women have a point, a period in their
life of maybe.. depending on how many children
they have, of 5 to 10 years where they have
a lessened amount of availablity. And in
many many corporate settings you have to
be available for face time in the office
and travel. And when you make the choice
to have a kid you also make the choice to
be not available as much.
