Fathers

Famous quotes containing the word fathers:

“And fathers are a blessing, too, they give the place a tone;
In fact each child should try and have some parents of its own.”
—Louis Untermeyer (1885–1977)

“There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

“One wonders that the tithing-men and fathers of the town are not out to see what the trees mean by their high colors and exuberance of spirits, fearing that some mischief is brewing. I do not see what the Puritans did at this season, when the maples blaze out in scarlet. They certainly could not have worshiped in groves then. Perhaps that is what they built meeting-houses and fenced them round with horse-sheds for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
