We love to be with our family and friends and I can tell you that lots of eating will be involved.

My whole damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's true. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my relatives were Readers or Practitioners in the church.

God did not intend the human family to be wafted to heaven on flowery beds of ease.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.
