“The most important thing in the world is family and love.”

There's no rulebook or set-standard on what a family should look like. It's different across the board–but the love that comes with having a built-in support system is truly unmatched. A good example of this are the Drummonds! Ree and Ladd are essentially role models when it comes to parenting their crew of kids. While it's always fun to joke around and find the light-hearted moments with your loved ones, it's also nice to show them how much you care every once in a while. If you ask us, the perfect way to do that is by reading or sending them any of these family quotes! There are so many loving sayings that get the words just right.

Here, you'll find family quotes that speak to that very same sentiment of pride, love, and admiration. Whether you're looking for a happy quote to read out loud at a reunion, or just something to get the point across, you'll find something on our list that fits the bill. Some of these sayings are taken from beloved feel-good movies, like Lilo and Stitch. Others are laugh-out-loud funny, like this quote from George Burns: "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city." But mostly, the quotes selected are short, simple, and as sincere as the love you feel for your own family—biological, chosen, or otherwise. After all, as Trenton Lee Stewart reminds us, "Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family."
