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

Americans are like a rich father who wishes he knew how to give his son the hardships that made him rich.

Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons.

Children have the right to grow up in a family with a father and mother capable of creating a suitable environment for the child's development and emotional maturity.

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.
