RANDOM THOUGHTS ON FATHERHOOD

“She got her looks from her father. He’s a plastic surgeon.” Groucho Marx (1890-1977)

“Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?” Dick Clark (1929- )

“You’ve got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.” Irish proverb.

“All we have of freedom, all we use or know, this our fathers bought for us, long and long ago.” Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

“My father never raised a hand to any one of his children, except in self-defense.” Fred Allen (1894-1956)

“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” Unknown

“Whoever in prayer can say, ‘Our Father,’ acknowledges and should feel the brotherhood of the whole race of mankind.” Tyron Edwards (1809-1894)

“Life is all one piece. Men err when they think they can be inhuman exploiters in their business life and loving husbands and fathers at home. For achievement without love is a cold and tight-lipped murderer of human happiness everywhere.” Smiley Blanton (1882-1966)

“The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering galleries, they are clearly heard at the end, and by posterity.” Gerhard Richter (1932- )

“God sends children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race - to enlarge our hearts; and to make us unselfish and full of kindly sympathies and affection; to give our shoulds higher aims; to call out all our faculties, to extended enterprise and exertion, and to bring round our firesides bright faces, happy smiles, and loving, tender hearts. My soul blesses the great Father, every day, that He has gladdened the earth with little children.” Mary Howitt (1799-1888)

“My father hated radio and couldn’t wait for the television to be invented so he could hate that, too.” Peter De Vries (1910-1993)

“By the time a man realizes that his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.” Charles Wadsworth (1917-2002)

“The important thing to recognize is that it takes a team, and the team ought to get credit for the wins and the losses. Successes have many fathers, failures have none.” Philip Caldwell (1920- )

“My father taught me to work. He did not teach me to love it.” Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
