A family history
leads to the satisfaction in really knowing who you are
and from when you came.
"Nor long shall any name resound
Beyond the grave, unless't be found
In some clerk's book; it is the pen
Gives immortality to men."
A good life lasts for several generations.
In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep,
to know our heritage, to know who we are
and where we come from.

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

— Chinese Proverb
Family faces are magic mirrors.
Looking at people who belong to us,
we see the past, present, and future.
We make discoveries about ourselves.

— Gail Lumet Buckley
In every conceivable manner,
the family is a link to our past,
a bridge to our future.

— Alex Haley
What greater thing is there for human souls
than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other
in silent unspeakable memories.

— George Eliot
Some people come and go in our lives.
Some stay forever.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.

— Native American Proverb
The memories we give may a lifetime live in the heart
of those we hold so close.

— Unknown
Families are like fudge . . .
mostly sweet with a few nuts.

— Unknown
The family is one of Nature's masterpieces.

— George Santayana
Having a place to go – is a home.
Having someone to love – is a family.
Having both – is a blessing.

— Donna Hedges
Every man is his own ancestor,
and every man is his own heir.
He devises his own future,
and he inherits his own past.

— Fredrick Henry Hedge
