My enthusiasm seems to cause my world to endlessly offer me cooperative, co-creating experiences. I'm willing and I'm eager, and not just about my writing - I feel the same way about staying in shape, enjoying my family, giving a lecture, or whatever it may be.
— Wayne Dyer
While 'Friends' was about a 20-something population and what they were going through, they were also dealing with issues with their family.
— Warren Littlefield
My thing is, I don't get in nobody's business or nothing like that or try to bash anybody for what they do. I've got cousins who are gay. To me, there's just no difference. We always chill and have family functions the way we always have. It's not a problem.
— Warren G
I was born in a family with a strong military background, so I chose to be a soldier.
— Wang Jianlin

— Walker Hayes

— Wadada Leo Smith
All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women.

— Vivienne Westwood
Um, 'Soul Food'... Another wonderful little movie that could. Here's a film that, I think our budget was maybe $6 million. We shot it in Chicago in six weeks. I was so proud of the film, because it showed America that an African-American film about family could sell, could do well, could cross over and have true meaning.
— Vivica A. Fox
I keep saying this to everyone: 'Grand Masti' is a family film that the entire family needs to watch - independently!
— Vivek Oberoi
One of the greatest lessons of my own life was learning to turn the inner rampage of hatred and anger toward my own father for his reprehensible behavior and abandonment of his family into an inner reaction more closely aligned with God and God-realized love.
The ironic thing is I took Kole from a family name - we had a vote and they had a few names, but Kole won - and getting it spelled with a 'K' is a constant correction, too. I'll never not be Warren Blosjo; it's just my stage name.
— Warren Kole
One can make a case that says that since 85% of children being brought up in single family homes are being brought up by women that about 85% of elementary school teachers should be males to balance out the feminization that the boys and girls receive.
— Warren Farrell
I have a lot of breast cancer history on my mother's side of the family.
Any sensible family has a budget that lays out how much will be spent for household and other purposes. Without such planning, things would quickly go awry.
— Walter Ulbricht
I'm almost completely without family and it's a very odd feeling in life. I have no children.

— Walter F. Mondale
I never made a movie I would not take my family to see.
— Walter Brennan

— Walt Disney

I wanted to make a comfortable living and raise a family, and that's what I did.
— W. Earl Brown
Pre-history tells us that our species used to be a hunter-gatherer society. This means that the job of raising a family was split 50-50 between the men and the women - the man's 50 percent share was to sit in the woods with a sharp stick, waiting for something to hunt to wander by, and the woman's 50 percent was to do everything else.
— W. Bruce Cameron
I want a family and I just want us to be happy, which I'm sure we will be.
I was brought up in a very ordinary family, in fact, a worker's family. Both my father and mother were ordinary citizens.
My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.
— Vivien Leigh
In my opinion, in addition to the success we have achieved in launching new Vants and in pursuing development of a variety of drugs, one of our most important achievements has been the growth of Roivant itself as a platform to support the efficient identification and advancement of medicines across all of the companies in the Roivant family.
— Vivek Ramaswamy
I am very privileged to have the parents and family that I do.
I wouldn't change a thing about my family.
— Warwick Davis
A lot of people in my family have high blood pressure. Dre told me I better start hitting the gym... so I took his advice.
And then in 1956 or 1957 my family went over to Europe and I moved over with them, and immediately people in Europe thought my perspective on that issue was 100% correct.
I was funny around my family. My family, they're pretty funny, too.
When I was 13, I thought I was pretty hot stuff because I knew BASIC programming, self-taught on the family's Commodore 64. One of my crowning accomplishments was writing a silly little program that showed a crudely-drawn Space Shuttle lifting off in a cloud of pixelated smoke.
— Walter O'Brien
I lay 11-10 because I know the bookie needs that 5 percent that I give him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make a living and go down to Florida with his family.
— Walter Matthau
When my family fell apart, it was such a troubled part of my life... I think I could understand what I was going through, but I didn't have the vocabulary for it.
— Walter Dean Myers
A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.
— Walter Bagehot
A man should never neglect his family for business.
I didn't get into rap to be no lyrical genius. I got into rap to feed my family and help the people in need around me, that's it. A lot of people say, 'Man, Waka Flocka ain't go no lyrics,' so I was like, 'Yeah, you right!'
— Waka Flocka Flame
Negroes could be sold - actually sold as we sell cattle, with no reference to calves or bulls or recognition of family. It was a nasty business. The white South was properly ashamed of it and continually belittled and almost denied it. But it was a stark and bitter fact.
— W. E. B. Du Bois
The two together are a really great combo: the family life and then being able to go play some shows and write.

Americans try to talk about positive family values, although the actual state of things is disastrous.
— Vladimir Zhirinovsky
The dream of socialists, the Maximum Programme, has always been to eliminate the private property, the family and the nation state. With the private property they have not succeeded, but they continue on the path of destruction of the family and the nation.
— Vladimir Bukovsky
I don't like to see projects that are all black or all white. It's how life is. I do like to make sure that I do a nice black family film; that's like keeping my home base. I do other things, but I like to always come back to a positive family film, because of all the negative influences today.
I have a beautiful family, and I wake up to bliss every day.
