As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.

My father wouldn't get us a TV, he wouldn't allow a TV in the house.

Many a bad habit is developed through overindulgence, and many a good one by chastisement; therefore, beat your son as well as your pupil; never indulge them.

When one has not had a good father, one must create one.

The father is always a Republican toward his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.

What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.
