Alvin Francis Poussaint Quotes
Grandfathers do have a special place in the lives of their children's children. They can delight and play with them and even indulge them in ways that they did not indulge their own children. Grandfather knows that after the fun and games are over with his adorable grandchildren he can return to the quiet of his own home and peacefully reflect on this phenomenon of fatherhood.

Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror,

And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue,
If England to itself do rest but true.

Most, O maid's child, thy choice and worthy the winning.
