Biblical Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father,
A wise son maketh a glad father
Honour thy father and thy mother
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,
When I was a child, I spoke like a child,
And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

The simple truth is that fathers are irreplaceable in shaping the competence and character of their children.... A daughter gets from her mother all the mothering stuff, but she gets from her father how she feels about her own worth.... The father is the priest in the home. This means standing in the presence of God for others.... The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart.... I can do one of two things. I can be president of the United States or I can be a father, I cannot possibly do both.... "Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a DAD!"

It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.
