The parent is the support that holds the household together.

To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root.

A family is a place where minds come into contact with one another.If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if tyhese minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.

You will never find another parent.

When you have children yourself you begin to understand what you owe to your parents.

The house with an old grandparent harbors a jewel.

If the main timbers in the house arer not straight, the smaller timbers will be unsafe; and if the smaller timbers are not safe, the house will fall.

What parents do, children will do.

Do not set aside the teaching of one's parents for there is life there.

The goodness of the taro is judged by the young plant it produces.

Recognize and be recognized, help and be helped. Such is family life.

Thank you Inda for the wonderful quotes and images.

3. If you have only two pennies left in the world, with the first penny, you should buy rice to feed your family. With the second penny, say the wise Japanese, you should buy a lily. The Japanese understand the importance of dreaming...

You can eat and drink with your family but not count and measure.

Thank you for the nice topic.
We respect the wisdom of our parents and grandparents and enjoy being with them. They have a lot of experience and can teach us valuable things.

Not only humans, but all living beings need to have a good and supportive family.
