I'm looking for any good chinese proverbs about the importance of family. For that matter, good proverbs about family from any culture are welcome!

一人吃饱，全家不饥 (yī rén chī bǎo, quán jiā bù jī)
Literally: A single member of a family eats; the whole family will not be hungry.
知子莫若父 (pinyin: zhi1 zi3 mo4 ru2 fu4)
Literally: No one knows a son better than the father.
虎父无犬子 (pinyin: hǔ fù wú quǎn zǐ)
Literally: A tiger father has no canine sons.
These are from http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Chinese_proverbs.
If you read Chinese look at http://schiller.dartmouth.edu/chinese/Texts/Proverbs/3gb.html, it has tons of them.
