It is much easier to become a father than to be one. - Kent Nerburn

What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child - it's the courage

reminded today that family is the most important. And we are called to
recognize and honor how critical every father is to that foundation.
President Barack Obama

father taught by example in one week. -- Mario Cuomo

I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and

eloquence of his example. -- Mario Cuomo

during the growing season. - Anonymous

protection. - Sigmond Freud

great deal of time. - Russell Hoban

My father died many years ago, and yet when something special happens to me,
I talk to him secretly not really knowing whether he hears, but it makes me
feel better to half believe it.-- Natasha Josefowitz

father. - Gabriel García Márquez

Simpson

You don't get hugged by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. . . I want what
everybody else wants: to love and to be loved, and to have a family.
