A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again. -- Enid Bagnold It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all. -- Alice Walker None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of SUCH a Father who has not his equal in this world-so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and dont be discouraged, for to be really in everything like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great deal. -- Victoria, Queen of England That is the thankless position of the father in the family-the provider for all, and the enemy of all. -- J. August Strindberg It is a wise father that knows his own child. -- William Shakespeare It doesnt matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was. -- Anne Sexton One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters. -- English Proverb To be a successful father . . . theres one absolute rule: when you have a kid, dont look at it for the first two years. -- Ernest Hemingway I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a fathers protection. -- Sigmund Freud I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example. -- Mario Cuomo |
