“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
“It is a wise father that knows his own child.”
William Shakespeare
“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.”
Sigmund Freud
“A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.”
Enid Bagnold
“A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all.”
Washington Irving
“When a child is born, so are grandmothers.”
Judith Levy
“Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing”
Thomas Henry Huxley
