I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.

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

To be the father of a nation is a great honor, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy.

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

My father was a cotton farmer first and - but he didn't have any land or what land he had, he lost it in the Depression. So he worked as a woodman and cut pulpwood for the paper mills, rode the rails in boxcars going from one harvest to another to try to make a little money picking fruit or vegetables.
