Fathers Quotes
-
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
-
People resemble still more the time in which they live, than they resemble their fathers.
Arthur Helps
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
I put the Scriptures above all the sayings of the fathers, angels, men and devils. Here I take my stand.
Martin Luther
-
We see death in the loss of sweet daughters and wives and fathers and old friends
Conn Iggulden

The Founding Fathers were nothing more than a bunch of snobby English shits.
Donald Freed
-
Noble fathers have noble children.
Euripides
-
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
-
I began my life as a character in my father's films.
Catherynne M. Valente
-
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.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
The Bible tells us that the sins of the fathers are passed to succeeding generations. The virtues of the fathers can be passed along, too.
Norman Vincent Peale
-
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
-
I think, don't you, that a girl with any delicacy of feeling couldn't bring herself to marry a man indirectly responsible for her father's death. No matter how much she was in love with him.
Wallace Stegner
-
There is a falsehood that some are born with an attraction to their own kind, with nothing they can do about it. They are just 'that way' and can only yield to those desires. That is a malicious and destructive lie. While it is a convincing idea to some, it is of the devil. No one is locked into that kind of life. From our premoral life we were directed into a physical body. There is no mismatching of bodies and spirits. Boys are to become men-masculine, manly men-ultimately to become husbands and fathers. No one is predestined to a perverted use of these powers.
Boyd K. Packer
-
Fathers - half of anyone's life seemed to be about who fathered them.
Nancy Springer
-
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
-
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
-
We are all children until our fathers die.
Melissa Bank
-
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
-
Work alone isn't enough for me and mine; we know how to break our backs, but the great dream Of my fathers was to be good at doing nothing.
Cesare Pavese
-
Hope is a thing with feathers.
Emily Dickinson
-
For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.
Homer
