John Green Quotes

You need a strong family because at the end, they will love you and support you unconditionally. Luckily, I have my dad, mom and sister.

My mom and dad just loved the fact that I fooled around. They just embraced it. They'd always kind of enjoy it, and they liked it when I made them laugh.

I need my mom for moral support plus to do the house things.

My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.

Mom?" I said. She turned. "Can I talk to you about something?" "Of course, darling. Come here." I took a few steps into the room. There was so much I wanted to say. "I need you to be --" I said, and then I started to cry. "Be what?" she said, opening her arms. "Not sad," I said.

My mom is really great with me and for me, because I think she makes an effort to make sure there is some normalcy in my life, and her and my dad don't really treat me any differently.

And almost instantly, Daddy made everything seem just fine. Even when it wasn't.

I surround myself with people that are supportive of our insane family dynamic, and I savor every minute of every day I have at home with my family.

There have been times when I have goofed up, and like every adolescent, I sometimes did get led the wrong way. I would come back home really scared to face my mom's wrath and anger, but surprisingly, I never got to face one. She would always tell me in a very nice manner that what I did was wrong and that I should correct myself.

If you have your family's support, you can overcome anything.

Thanks to having my dad travel with me, I don't feel quite cut off from my family.

My mom, dad and me were a compact group. They instilled in me a love for the outdoors. On school breaks, we'd go fishing for a week in the wilds of Alaska or Canada. The land was always in their souls.

I remember being in my house from when I was, like, five to when I was, like, 12. When hurricanes would happen, you just hold hands, and you say, 'You know what, we have each other. We're praying,' and this roof can literally peel off of your house.

If I had a message to give my dad, it'd probably be, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' He's helped me so much on this crazy journey. Giving up his job, being away from my mom, and being away from home for that much just because of me? It's a lot. And I thank him for it.

The important lesson for the children was that they know if there is a problem, they can tell us, we can talk about it, and we can resolve it. That's what families do. You face things, and you deal with them, and you move on together.

Having the family around is always very important because they are supportive. If you have a good day, you can enjoy it together. And if you have a bad day, you always find something as a distraction with your children, because they are normally happy.

It's nice to be in the family I'm in with all their support.

The most important people to please are your family.

If I can help one family embrace their child and not displace them and throw them out, I'm happy about that.

When Dad passed away, grandpa took on that mantle of teaching me how to tackle at football or taking me and mum to cricket.

Mom, I love you. I love you, and our lives are gonna change. We don't have to struggle no more.

My mom, my aunt, and my grandma banded together and gave me a village of support when I was growing up.

My father and mother have given me so much love, so much support, that it would trivialize their parenthood if I would reduce it just to basketball. But my dad does call me before and after every game. And when we lost a game we shouldn't have, he told me it wasn't my fault. And I appreciated that, because he was trying to pick me up.

Family comes together when you deal with hard times because it's the only way you know how to cope.

I keep my family around me.
