Richard Henry Dana

Douglas Macarthur

BY  profession, I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder – infinitely prouder – to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, 'Our Father who art in Heaven.'

Croesus

In peace, the sons bury their fathers, but in war, the fathers bury their sons.



Sir Stephen Spender

when a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, my mind a top whipped by the lashes of your rhetoric, windy of course.



Chinese Proverb

If a son is uneducated, his dad is to blame.



Jan Hutchins

when I was a kid, my father told me every day, 'You're the most wonderful boy in the world, and you can do anything you want to.'
