In case you haven’t noticed, Dad isn’t much of a scientist. He can’t even mix hot water and tea bags to make tea.
Fathers should make you feel safe.
All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye.
I understand more and more how true Daddy's words were when he said: 'All children must look after their own upbringing.' Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
dad had to… …work three jobs he had to give his time off to sleep instead of knowing me
Boys look to their dad or key men in their lives to learn who they are as men.
I’m so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
[My father] taught me with silence ... to look into myself, to find my own strength, to walk around inside myself in company with my soul... One learns of the pain of others by suffering one’s own pain … by turning inside oneself... It makes us aware of how frail and tiny we are and of how much we must depend upon the Master of the Universe.
A great father is one whose children look up to him rather than away from him.
My father was the model of discipline and courage. Sure, he was stern, and sometimes judgmental, but I always felt like he meant well.
Father has a strengthening character like the sun and mother has a soothing temper like the moon.
My father was very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him, all good things – trout as well as eternal salvation – come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easy.
