Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee.

* Mario Cuomo
- Lucky that man
whose children make his happiness in life
and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.
* Euripedes
- I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
* Sigmund Freud
- You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's. He's more particular.
