“It's only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home-it's only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love.”
Margaret Truman
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Mark Twain
“A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.”
Marlene Dietrich
“For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.”
Homer
““I believe the true measure of a man is not what my boss, friends, family or any person thinks, judges or says about me. But what my kids say, believe and think of me when playing and talking to their friends.””
Zachariah B Notter
“The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.”
Confucius
“Don't let nobody overshadow your greatness, for you were intrusted with this task! So, protect it with your life if you must!”
Philip T. M.
