“You know, fathers just have a way of putting everything together.”
Erika Cosby
“Be kind to thy father, for when thou were young, who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, and joined in thy innocent glee.”
Margaret Courtney
“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 don't 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.”
Queen Victoria
“A man knows he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”
Jim Valvano
“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
“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.”
Sigmund Freud
