100+ Quotes about Family – Blood Ties and Inside Jokes

Before we start the article about family quotes, I would like to tell you something.

When we came into this world we were naked and tearful, but then someone took us in their arms and peace came to our souls and our being was enveloped in love.

First I'd like us to do a little imagination exercise, it'll be fun, I promise!

Imagine that you are an energy, you have no body or face but you are about to choose one. What is this body like? Is it as you chose it or is it different?

Now, after you have chosen your body, please look towards this planet called Terra, Earth, Gaia or whatever you want to call it, there, there is a couple who are about to have a child.

The stars align, cosmic energies intertwine, and there is an explosion of energy! BOOM! And your conception has taken place!

You come into this world and grow up to this moment, here, when you read these lines. How do you feel?

This is a fragment of a meditation that is very dear to me, and after doing it I feel like a different person and I hope it helped you too.

So, it's a blessing that you can be here and that you open your eyes every day, that you see the sunlight, that you have a healthy and whole body that carries you through life and all its challenges, but at the same time, it also carries you through its wonders!

All of these things are due to our parents, and our parents' parents, because they worked so that you could be here.

Today, I want us to celebrate and honor them through various verses, cited or proverbs.

Maybe some of us need a little help when it comes to expressing feelings, so let's get started.

Lyrics about family by Romanian authors

Family is the cornerstone of our individual being but we are part of a system, both familial and tribal. Our tribe was once called Dacia and now Romania but what makes us truly different and special is our courage, devotion, loyalty, honor, sincerity but last but not least our talent.

We are a talented people, some in problem solving, others in crafts, pottery, and others in poems, ballads, and novels, and even they have contributed to who we are today, so they deserve a tribute too.

Grigore Vieru, "From the Parents"

"We keep speech from our parents, 

Like a song, like a verse, 

What in their clear water 

They gathered the lights from the sky.”

Adrian Paunescu, "Mother"

"Mom, you are my homeland!" 

Without you, it's like I'm alone in the world, 

And I would wander in the foreign land 

Where I don't know the language, nor my name."

Ana Blandiana, "Home"

"Home means father, it means good mother, 

Home is where I always wanted to come. 

Love is at home, with open arms, 

It's a celebration of life with flowers and seasons." 

George Coșbuc, "Home"

In our dear home, where we grew up, 

Dad, mom, siblings – we all met. 

And no matter what, I always return there, 

"Home is my place, my soul."

Tudor Arghezi, "Our Little House"

"It's a nest house and a threshold and a ladder 

And a warm meal at the end of the evening. 

There is a sun in winter and a star 

"What lights up my life." 

Octavian Goga, "Family"

"We all hold hands, 

Like flowers in the garden, 

And we love each other, and we love each other, 

"As long as the sun shines." 

Marin Sorescu, "Father's Love"

"And my father once asked me: 

– Why doesn't love fade away? 

And I told him that without a home, 

"There is no love and no peace." 

Mihai Eminescu, "Oh, Mother"

"Oh, mother, sweet mother, from the mists of time, 

"On the rustling of leaves, you call me to you." 

Nichita Stănescu, "Being a Child"

"As a child, I would return home, 

And my world had light, 

Because mom and dad were there 

With love that never ends." 

Adrian Păunescu, "Family of Words"

"Nothing in the world is more sacred 

Like a word family. 

To grow in love and sunshine, 

And to love, without ceasing." 

Ion Minulescu, "Home"

"When you come home and see your children on the doorstep, 

You understand that everything melts away in a kiss. 

That's the place where everything seems dear to you, 

"There is the love you will never lose."

Lucian Blaga, "My Family"

"Where father worked and mother cried, 

I learned to laugh, to sing, to shout. 

Because my family is the one who taught me 

To be a man, to be good, to be rich." 

Ion Pillat, "Home"

"Home is the place where my parents are waiting for me, 

With their warm love and a gentle smile. 

It's the place where every mistake is forgiven, 

And I feel like a child again, with a faint soul." 

George Topîrceanu, "The Parents"

"There is always light in a mother's chest, 

And my father's arms are my strong wall. 

With them by the hand I can pass any storm, 

They are my family, the angels who watch over me eternally.” 

Marin Preda, "Mother and Father"

"With their love, mom and dad, 

They gave me wings to fly, to be. 

Without them, life would be empty, 

A lost road, a deserted dream."

Ion Vinea, "From the hand of my mother"

"I grew up from my mother's hand, 

From my father's words I learned 

That the world is better 

When you have a family and you are clean.” 

Grigore Vieru, "Home"

"Home is not a house, it's a feeling, 

It's the mother's arm, with a parental smile, 

It's the voice of the father when he laughs, 

And you feel that the whole world is a Romanian song.” 

Vasile Alecsandri, "The Family"

"When my mother held me close to her chest, 

And my father told me stories, 

I felt that the world wasn't heavy, 

And in my heart only happiness grows."

Where father and mother gather, 

That's where I grow up, 

And everything around becomes holy.”

To walk through the world without fear. 

Family is my whole life, 

"It's the song that's calling my heart."
