"I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong."
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys."
"Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected."
"To be a successful father... there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years."
"I've had a hard life, but my hardships are nothing against the hardships that my father went through in order to get me to where I started."
"The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get."
"It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was."
"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again."
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
