I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
It's best to love your family as you would a Siberian tiger-from a distance, preferably separated by bars.
Be great, make the best life for your family!
That same intense, overpowering, and all-encompassing love that you feel for your family can also be utterly terrifying.
Truths are the last thing you learn about your family. By the time you learn, you're no longer their child.
You have to stay true to your true friends and your family.
There's a lot of psychological material that you inherit from your family.
Never be too absorbed by your own ambitions to encourage those of your family.
You don't have to like your family, you don't even have to spend time with them, to know them right down to the bone.
It is the inner peace that can bring peace in our family, in society and ultimately, in the world.
I've been through really trying experiences personally, and your family is who you turn to.
You have to tease your family. You tease the ones that you're closest to.
We had 10 children in our family. We all helped each other - we had to to exist, especially when we were out on the farm.
Personally, fame never really played any part in our family life.
Everything in our family was always boxing. It was the life my father chose for me.
When you're around your family, and you have that history and that shared language, you say things you'd be embarrassed to hear quoted back to you later.
If I can get you to a point where you can lead a full life, sustain a job, earn money for your family - you can be completely engaged as a citizen.
Who are we when we leave our families? Who do we become? What are we capable of? That's something that never leaves us. It begins at that point in your life when you leave the nest, and I don't think we stop wanting to explore that question.
We have to change laws. We have to change our approach to policing and incarceration in general. But we can get the population to a point where we can then go to the community-based facility models, where people should be able to await their trial dates, or if you're in jail for a year or less, if you have some sort of time that you have to spend in jail, that you can do it closer to your networks. Your family can visit you. You can talk about other ways of having people complete their time.
When you're with your family you're with them and when you're working you're doing that. I definitely try to separate the time when I'm working and when I have my personal time.
I learned from Francis Ford Coppola to treat the company like your family.
Exhort your household to learn [the Ten Commandments] word for word, that they should obey God…For if you teach and urge your families things will go forward.
I feel like nowadays everyone perceives you the same way. You can't even have a private life away from your family; it's like everything is very hands-on!
I know some people say it's not the best to work with your family, but I have never understood that because it's always worked so well for me.
People want to act like they know celebrities. They want to see pictures. They want to know where you're going. They want to hear you talk about your family.
