But I know for a fact that had I had a father, I'd have some discipline. I'd have more confidence. Your mother cannot calm you down the way a man can. Your mother can't reassure you the way a man can. My mother couldn't show me where my manhood was. You need a man to teach you how to be a man.

Though things change, the future's still inside of me.

How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children.

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

If you're presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.

Talking about the future, like we had a clue. Never plans that one day, I'd be losing you.
