My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
