Fathers Quotes
-
I think Scandinavian Paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest; it continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century; 800 years ago the Norwegians were still worshipers of Odin. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers; the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways.
Thomas Carlyle
-
Noble fathers have noble children.
Euripides
-
I began my life as a character in my father's films.
Catherynne M. Valente
-
A lot of these kids have no fathers, and they want to be gangsters. They don't believe in God and have no faith in anything but their own instincts. Boxing provides a way for them to express themselves in a positive way, and I'm happy to be able to help them.
Bobby Slayton
-
Fathers and mothers are just people, which means they make mistakes. Don't hold that against them. Whatever flaws they may have, they created you in a moment of love, and are among the few who knew you when. When they're gone, there won't be anyone to take their place.
Ernest Borgnine
-
In peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons.
Herodotus
-
They are Man's and they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance and this girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.
Charles Dickens
-
Hope is a thing with feathers.
Emily Dickinson
-
When we build ... let it not be for present delights nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think ... that a time is to come when these stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor, and the wrought substance of them, See! This our fathers did for us!
Marcel Proust
-
Their fathers had been slaughtered over the stretch of a half-century by the Persians, their mothers raped. And still they had not caved in.
Bettany Hughes
-
Outlawing religion form the political arena is not what the Founding Fathers intended when they drafted the First Amendment. We do a grave disservice to our country by removing the influence of religion. If you separate God from the public arena, inevitably you separate good from our government.
Bill Bright
-
All we have of freedom All we use or know This our fathers bought for us Long and long ago.
Rudyard Kipling

Come on fathers, don't hesitate, send them off before it's too late. Be the first one on the block to have your boy come home in a box.
Country Joe McDonald
-
When there is a respect for small things, there will be an even greater respect towards the bigger things. When there is no respect for small things, then neither will there be for the bigger ones. This is how the Fathers maintained Tradition.
Elder Paisios of Mount Athos
-
Our dads are cool. If we did something stupid and hurt ourselves, they'd just go 'you dickhead, I told you not to do that!' And they don't care if we swear. Because they know that if they weren't there, we'd be doing it anyway.
Ben Gillies
Silverchair

And the parents, of course, are aware of this. The fathers come here anxious to look intelligent, amiable and prosperous; the mothers put on their best frocks and hope that their sons’ friends will think them young-looking, attractive, well turned out .
Edmund Crispin
-
Freedom is where you can live, as pleases a brave heart; where you can live according to the customs and laws of your Fathers; where you are made happy by that which made your most distant ancestors happy.
Ernst Moritz Arndt
-
We are all children until our fathers die.
Melissa Bank
