It helps when 1 can send the children off to their fathers so I can support my new book with a national publicity tour. I started writing the book when my daughter was 5. It took me almost four years.
The glorification of sisters, mothers as the selfless Indian women who will do ‘agni pariksha’ and the one who sees her own betterment only in the betterment of their husbands and fathers, that has to stop. It’s very regressive.
For Mothers Day, we always gave mom a perfume and on Fathers Day, we gave dad a pen. Funnily, every year, we used to steal it from their drawer and give it back every year.
If you look at the origins of the postal service in the U.S., the founding fathers created it to protect democratic rights.
Reaper of enemies; strong of grip; One kind with his fathers.
The pro skaters I know are responsible members of society. Many of them are fathers, homeowners, world travelers and successful entrepreneurs. Their hairdos and tattoos are simply part of our culture, even when they raise eyebrows during PTA meetings.
The Founding Fathers gave birth to a new type of nation.
The fathers, if they got me alone, would try to kiss and fondle me. I hated it.
We all went up to Washington on a mission to change things. What I found is that the Founding Fathers set it up where it’s a little more difficult to do. We’ve got the Senate and the president to deal with.
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.
One of the things ‘Star Wars’ is most deeply about is fathers, sons, and redemption. In its own way, it points to the indispensability of paternal love, and it has a lot to say about the lengths to which people – boys or girls – will go to get it.
I believe we have become paralyzed, paralyzed by our desire to be loved. Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country’s principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.
The Second Amendment is not just words on parchment. It’s not some frivolous suggestion from our Founding Fathers to be interpreted by whim. It lies at the heart of what this country was founded upon.
There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That’s why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves.
Girlhood is often marred by schoolgirl cruelty, a grim rite of passage in which parents sometimes cruelly collude. Mothers and fathers must take a stand against petty or protracted hostility between girls.
The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all.
I thought my dad was out of work, because my friends had fathers with briefcases who’d go off somewhere with bow ties on. But my father would finish breakfast and go back to his room.
The Founding Fathers of our nation believed in the people. They created a new nation based on the radical notion that the people could be free and trusted – that the nation would be great if you trusted the people to be good.
Girls are really resentful to their fathers when they don’t get a chance to spend time with them, but now that my daughter knows everything I say damn near will come true or damn near is what it is, she loves me for that, she respects me for it, and I feel the same way with her.
When our founding fathers drafted the Constitution and Bill of Rights, black people weren’t even considered human.
You can never solve a problem without talking to people with whom you disagree. The United States Senate is predicated and based on consensus building. That was certainly the vision of the founding fathers.
Fathers are the first image of who God is!
Black people are on earth for one purpose: to destroy, and not to build. The reason: It’s not in them to show respect to anyone – they don’t have love. They don’t have God. They’re angry at their mothers and disconnected from their fathers. They call good evil and evil good.
Like any other people, like fathers, mothers, sons and daughters in every land, when the issue of peace or war has been put squarely to the American people, they have registered for peace.
When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.
Some fathers raise their daughters to be seen and not heard; they raise their daughters not to speak out. Raise strong women!
Boys need fathers, and you can’t do that in jail.
Isn’t it strange that religious prejudices – beliefs none possess, not even the saints, so they have lamented – divide brothers and sons from their fathers. You see, I except mothers and sisters; the female is not a religious animal. If she were, the world would have ceased long ago.
I see happiness as a by-product. I don’t think you can pursue happiness. I think that phrase is one of the very few mistakes the Founding Fathers made.
When you’re actually talented, and you have something to offer, people start to look at you for you as opposed to who you’re the offspring of. I feel like a lot of actors, artists, or musicians who come from famous fathers or mothers all deal with the same thing.
If you want to know the value of vaccines, just spend some time in a clinic in Africa. The faces of the mothers and fathers say it all: vaccines prevent illness and save lives.
The Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to bare the secrets of government and inform the people.
I like human stories. I like stories about situations we can relate to. I like movies like ‘Ordinary People’ or ‘Terms of Endearment.’ Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, boyfriends, girlfriends. The stories to me that are worth telling are almost simple ones, but very relatable.
TV family sitcoms have always been about fathers who know best and mothers who are so enchanted with everything they do. I wanted to be the first mom to be a mom on TV. I wanted to sent out a message about how us women really feel.
I had a father who was active, present. There are people out there that never knew their fathers, didn’t have their father’s support. If I were to complain, that would be real sad. How dare I?
What harsh judges fathers are to all young men!
The founding fathers of the U.S. were right when they erected that wall between church and state.
I ask for a lot of advice from different fathers – all kinds of dads.
When fathers are actually in the household and more families are educating their children, then our society will be a whole lot better.
The critical role of Congress in the adoption of international agreements was clearly laid out by our Founding Fathers in our Constitution. And it’s a principle upon which Democrats and Republicans have largely agreed.
Priesthood lessons are regularly devoted to topics of family leadership, and quorum leaders everywhere are feeling more and more their responsibility to teach and train their quorum members to be better husbands and fathers.
I started off as many fathers do. I enjoyed the good bits, but I was wary of the responsibility. But now I love being a dad.
How did we win the election in the year 2000? We talked about a humble foreign policy: No nation-building; don’t police the world. That’s conservative, it’s Republican, it’s pro-American – it follows the founding fathers. And, besides, it follows the Constitution.
I think looking is the essential act of loving. Brothers, fathers and sons, lovers, whatever. What you do when you love someone is look at that person as that person is.
I didn’t have my dad there and I had another mate who didn’t have his father, and you kind of form your own little family and that’s what gangs are, that’s why you have so many gangs now because there are so many kids without fathers that they seek their own male bonding.
Biological fathers are of slight importance to the raising of children, after all, and the larger the welfare state, the more employment for crucial members of the Democratic base.
If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.
Husbands and fathers, get on your knees before God and accept your place as head of your household. You are the prophet from God to your family. This is not a lightweight thing; it takes a commitment on your part to fulfill your responsibilities. Get yourself straight before God, then see to your children.
I have played 50 different kinds of fathers and villains. Only mediocre actors play the part the same way.
I know lots of friends who grew up without fathers and it actually makes you stronger. You have more to prove, you have to protect yourself.
My friends were raised by their maids. They didn’t see their fathers, who used to travel for work, and there were facades of family vacations. I have grown up to be completely intolerant of fake relationships. That’s because of how my parents were.
When our Founding Fathers wrote the historic words ‘all men are created equal,’ they probably didn’t have people like me in mind.
