Fathers Quotes
-
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
-
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
-
The Founding Fathers were nothing more than a bunch of snobby English shits.
Donald Freed

Catherynne M. Valente

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
-
Noble fathers have noble children.
Euripides
-
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
-
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
-
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

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.

In times of trouble you can count on your self. In times of disaster you can count on your friends. In times of sorrow you can count on your Father.
William C. Richardson

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
-
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
-
The so-called Church Fathers are not some theologians as we know them nowadays. They were close to the teaching of the Apostles conveying the teaching of those who were close to Jesus. Their theology and wisdom is close to everyday life. We have to thank John Michael Talbot that he has been able to unearth the treasures of those times. This was only possible because he himself in his community experiences the Gospel lived out in our times.
Notker Wolf
-
Fathers - half of anyone's life seemed to be about who fathered them.

Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessens the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training, and loving their children.
