Father

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father  Lydia Maria Child

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons  Johann Schiller

Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice  unknown

Being a dad is the greatest, except for assembling things  Conan O'Brien

One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters  George Herbert

The child is father of the man  William Wordsworth

Fathers have a special excitement about them that babies find intriguing. At this time in his life an infant counts on his mother for rootedness and anchoring. He can count on his father to be just different enough from a mother. Fathers embody a delicious mixture of familiarity and novelty. They are novel without being strange or frightening.  Louise J. Kaplan

It is a wise father that knows his own child  William Shakespeare
