Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God.
I’m interested in art for all. I don’t want it to be only the sons and daughters of Tory MPs who get to see my plays.
I’m not black myself, but my sons are.
Woe to the generation of sons who find their censers empty of the rich incense of prayer, whose fathers have been too busy or too unbelieving to pray, and perils inexpressible and consequences untold are their unhappy heritage.
Everybody has ideas. The vital question is, what do you do with them? My rock musician sons shape their ideas into music. My sister takes her ideas and fashions them into poems. My brother uses his ideas to help him understand science. I take my ideas and turn them into stories.
My mother’s incredibly independent and she brought us up to be the same. She had five daughters and two sons and only allowed one mirror in the house because she didn’t want us to be obsessed with our looks or weight.
I have a band called Sons of the Lawless.
I love my kids, and the moments I have with them, and it’s kind of weird, it’s such an age old cliche, but the way that my sons, the way they make me feel when I look at them, the way they say things, no one else would probably react to them, but it’s a special thing for me.
I was born in Washington, D.C., on February 19, 1941, the eldest of four sons.

Bush the father did well in placing his sons as governors and did not forget to pass on the expertise in fraud from the leaders of the region to Florida to use it in critical moments.
I refuse to admit that I am more than fifty-two, even if that does make my sons illegitimate.
I think a lot of guys want a son because of all of the things they do while growing up. A lot of guys want to share those experiences with their own sons.

The laws of the lowly gangster govern Qaddafi and his sons.
Right before I got ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ I actually quit acting for 18 months and didn’t read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I had some control over my life, as just a human, out in the world.
You know, I got kids. I got sons, and I try to tell them, ‘Look, man, when you in the car and you get pulled over, hands on the steering wheel. ‘Yes, sir. No sir.’ Your job is to either wind up in jail, so I can come get you, or be able to pull off. That’s your job.’
I have a wife, I have sons: all of them hostages given to fate.
When I was 13, I went on ‘Britain’s Got Talent.’ I auditioned. I sang a cover of a song called ‘White Blank Page’ by Mumford & Sons.
People get that dads have a place in the lives of their sons. But you have to be just as present with daughters, maybe even more so. You have to get in there and be part of the game.
Well the beauty of ‘Iyanla: Fix My Life’ is that men are in every show.

I always advise my sons to believe that they can do whatever they want, and they do. They’re very similar to me in their attitude.
My two sons adore me. They’ve made me more responsible.
Words, especially when yelled in anger, can be very damaging to a child’s self-confidence. The child probably already feels bad enough just from seeing the consequences of his or her behavior. Our sons and daughters don’t need more guilt and self-doubt heaped upon their already wounded egos.
I have three sons, as different from each other as any three humans could be but connected by their shared love of Guitar Hero. I’m lucky to be married to a man I can call my soulmate without any irony whatsoever.
Donald Trump is not a 71-year-old white man. He is an Indian uncle. He wears suits that don’t fit; he can’t speak English properly. He works with his idiotic sons; he hates women but loves his daughter. He makes up words when he gets angry. He is an Indian uncle.
I started listening to music when I wrote when I had three sons at home.
As a father of two black sons now, you ask yourself, ‘What do I have to do to assure the safety of these boys?’ It can be daunting.
At home we never mention football. Not with my wife, not with my sons, not with my mother. Sometimes they will see something in the paper and ask me what I think. But I say, nothing.
The greatest gift that Oxford gives her sons is, I truly believe, a genial irreverence toward learning, and from that irreverence love may spring.
My sons remember me most as a Cardinal. My one son is 26 years old, and I don’t think he’s ever seen me without a beard. It’s not as black as it used to be, but it’s still there.
Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable. Disposable in war; disposable in work. We need warriors and volunteer firefighters, so we label these men heroes.
I love ‘Modern Family; I think that is a great show. I don’t get to watch tons of TV, but when I do, ‘Sons of Anarchy’ is pretty much the number one, and ‘Modern Family’ is one of my favorites.
We must speed up the time table for fathers, brothers and sons to provide their mothers, daughters and sisters with the same opportunities that they give themselves.

When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and the news was out that a lockdown would be imperative, Hrithik and I decided that staying together in the same home would be the more intelligent and soulful decision for our sons, and for us.
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Also, to be honest, my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now, aged 35, I want to see what I can achieve physically.
I wasn’t supposed to be walking with Mark Zuckerberg. I wasn’t supposed to be interviewing Romney’s sons. Why was I doing it? Because I wanted to survive. I wanted to live. I wanted to earn what it means to be an American.
I, for one, am pretty exhausted since I started blogging almost a year ago. But I am blaming that on my two sons, aged 3 and 6, whose perpetual-motion-machine energy is hard to keep up with at my advanced age.
I tell my sons all the time, ‘The most important thing in your life is fitness,’ but a lot of fighters go overboard.
To the families of special needs children all across this country I have a message for you: for years you have sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters, and I pledge to you that if we’re elected, you will have a friend, an advocate, in The White House.
By a considerable margin, my family’s largest-ever financial expenditure was the adoption of our two sons.
I think that as I had children, I have five sons, and they got into video games and were the prime ages through the development of video games. It was so much fun seeing them play the games and seeing it through their eyes.
I put on about 20 pounds to play Washington, and that was really enjoyable. That’s probably the most fun I’ve had preparing for a role. There were only two weeks between ‘Sons of Liberty’ wrapping and ‘Complications’ starting, so I had, basically, two weeks to drop 20 pounds, and that was the opposite of fun.
I’m a fan of all these genres of music, everything from Mumford & Sons to Beach Boys to doo-wop music to reggae.
The conundrum that I face on a daily basis is that I have two sons who have grown up watching ‘The Simpsons,’ so they know exactly what buttons to push. They know how Bart irritates Homer, and they use these lines against me to tell me that I’m not funny anymore.
We’ve talked about doing a reunion of ‘My Three Sons,’ but I have an aversion to actors doing reunions.
One of my sons has a tattoo on his ankle that was meant to be Africa but looks like Australia, one of my sons mumbles, and one of my sons is a gay man. I’ll be honest, there’s been loads of nights when me and my wife have sat up and worried and worried and worried, ‘What are we going to do if he doesn’t stop mumbling?’
In my personal life, if you ask me something which I feel is important, I will talk about it. Like, if you ask me about my sons, I will talk.
I have two sons and I have taught them to respect women. They have also seen how I, a single mother, have raised them.
Pretty much every night of their lives, my 8-year-old sons have absorbed themselves entirely in books. As toddlers, they pointed out pictures, made conjectures; lately, we find them in their bunk beds embarked upon two-hour comic-reading benders.
Cain slew Abel. On that much the Torah and the Bible and the Qur’an agree, although in the Qur’an these first sons of Adam and Eve are Qabeel and Habeel. Cain, which is to say Qabeel, wandered eastwards from Eden to the Land of Nod with a mark of some kind on him, a curse.
