Relatives cannot help you in the studios. You stand or fall by your own efforts.
Glynis Johns
Image
You should accordingly exercise your mind to remember your friends, relatives, and fellow-workers to determine if they are in need. As you remember each one so shall you in turn intercede for them. If in interceding on their behalf your spirit remains cold and dry, then you know you are not to pray for them.
Watchman Nee
Image
Blogs seem to have two magnetic poles, one attracting friends, the other repulsing relatives.
Robert Breault
Image
Go home, and let all your relatives off the potter's wheel. You are not the potter!
Joyce Meyer

The society of my relatives can only be enjoyed with frequent intervals.
Georgette Heyer

There's a big difference between having relatives who have money and actually having it yourself. Just because you have a cousin who has a lot of money doesn't mean he shares it with you. Or that you'd ask him for a loan.
Whit Stillman

The Buddhists think that, because we've all had infinite previous lives, we've all been each other's relatives. Therefore all of you, in the Buddhist view, in some previous life ... have been my mother - for which I do apologize for the trouble I caused you.
Robert Thurman

Try not to annoy your relatives unnecessarily.
Judith Martin
Image
Nine out of ten Americans are actually monarchists at bottom. The fact is proved by their high suseptibility to political claims by president's sons and other relatives, usually nonentities.
H. L. Mencken
Image
Unfortunately, inner feelings and potential are often stunted by our parents, relatives or peers.
Willie Stargell

If you were a child and every time your relatives had a few drinks, they'd be running after you with scary faces and big hands to pull you back to sing Don't Cry For Me Argentina, you wouldn't like singing either.
Roisin Murphy
Image
In America, we have anti-nepotism laws in the federal government and in lots of state governments, because the practice of hiring relatives undermines public confidence that the government official is actually finding best person for the job.
Kathleen Clark
Image
At death our friends and relatives either draw nearer to us and are found out, or depart farther from us and are forgotten. Friends are as often brought nearer together as separated by death.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
But why people need privacy? Why privacy is important? In China, every family live together, grandparents, parents, daughter, son and their relatives too. Eat together and share everything, talk about everything. Privacy make people lonely. Privacy make family fallen apart.
Xiaolu Guo

Sixty percent of our immigrants are admitted merely because they have relatives here. Many of these people are not immediate relative, but are part of extended families. The nepotistic U.S. policy lets in relatives then lets in the relatives' relatives, and so on, creating an endless and ever growing chain of new immigrants.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We have a duty to rescue our closest living relatives as part of our wider responsibilities to conserve the ecosystems they inhabit.
Klaus Topfer
Image
Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.
Jacques Delille
Image
Health is a great blessing--competence obtained by honorable industry is a great blessing--and a great blessing it is to have kind, faithful, and loving friends and relatives but, that the greatest of all blessings, as it is the most ennobling of all privileges, is to be indeed a Christian.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
No one wants to be excelled by his relatives.
Livy
Image
...since I was a little boy, she had always wanted me to go. She was always sending me off on a bus someplace, to elementary school, to camp, to relatives in Kentucky, to college. She pushed me away from her just as she'd pushed my elder siblings away when we lived in New York, literally shoving them out the front door when they left for college.
James McBride
Image
Biological family is too small of a vision. Patriotism is far too myopic. A love for our own relatives and a love for the people of our own country are not bad things, but our love does not stop at the border.
Shane Claiborne
Image
Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankful.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Image
The death of our close friends and relatives proves that how close the death is to us!
Javad Alizadeh

For our immediate family and relatives, Canada was a land of opportunity.
