Blessed Father Herman

Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or father:

    Home—that blessed word, which opens to the human heart the most perfect glimpse of Heaven, and helps to carry it thither, as on an angel’s wings.
    Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)

    As we try to change, we will discover within us a fierce struggle between our loyalty to that battle-scarred victim of his own childhood, our father, and the father we want to be. We must meet our childhood father at close range: get to know him, learn to forgive him, and somehow, go beyond him.
    Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
