become wild and

from whose shoulders
you can see for ever.

Perry Garfinkel

When you cant do anything
else to a boy, you can
make him wash his face.

Ed Howe

Parenthood is a
lot easier to get
into than out of.

Bruce Lansky

The toughest job in the
world isnt being a president.
Its being a parent.

A father and his car
keys are soon parted.

The sooner you treat
your son as a man, the
sooner he will be one.

John Dryden

By the time a man realises
that maybe his father was
right, he usually has a son
who thinks hes wrong.

first hero.
