“What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”
Jim Valvano
“For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.”
Homer
“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
“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
“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
“The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.”
Confucius
