Quotations about Fathers:

Any father whose son raises a hand against him is guilty:of having produced a son who raised his hand against him.

How many a father have I seen,
A sober man, among his boys,
Whose youth was full of foolish noise,
Who wears his manhood hale and green.

If the man who turnips cries,
Cry not when his father dies,
'Tis a proof that he had rather
Have a turnip than his father.

It's all any reasonable child can expect if the dad is present at the conception.

My father was frightened of his mother. I was frightened of my father, and I'm damned well going to make sure that my children are frightened of me.
