Fathers Quotes
-
Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith and go forward.
Thomas A. Edison
-
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
-
Without fathers you would have no civilization.
Michael Gurian
-

Cesare Pavese
-
All women who kill or have sexual obsessions or who are prostitutes have trouble with their fathers.
Catherine Deneuve
-
If men lived like men indeed, their houses would be temples -- temples which we should hardly dare to injure, and in which it would make us holy to be permitted to live; and there must be a strange dissolution of natural affection, a strange unthankfulness for all that homes have given and parents taught, a strange consciousness that we have been unfaithful to our fathers honor, or that our own lives are not such as would make our dwellings sacred to our children, when each man would fain build to himself, and build for the little revolution of his own life only.
John Ruskin
-
Fathers like to have children good-natured, well-behaved, and comfortable, but how to put them in that desirable condition is out of their philosophy.
Ernestine Rose
-
Baseball is sunshine, green grass, fathers and sons, our rural past.
Albert Theodore Powers
-
My friends and I were all deathly afraid of our fathers, which was right and proper and even biblically ordained. Fathers were angry; it was their job.
Barbara Holland
-
Sensible fathers and mothers, when their children marry, go back to the old days and renew their youth.
Elizabeth Goudge
-
In case of separation, why should the children be taken from the protecting care of the mother? Who has a better right to them than she? How much do fathers generally do toward bringing them up?
Ernestine Rose
-
Because the world needs sons and daughters with the courage of their fathers, and you are a courageous man.
Beverly Jenkins
