Father Quotes

I tend to project my father figure onto any director that I’m working with, or mother, if I’m working with a female, or it can be confused Picture Quote #1

My father who was there in the house, he wasn’t at all a role model. And my mother, who was trying to protect me from him as best she could, she took me everywhere with her, which gave me a tremendous amount of sensitivity to the things women go through Picture Quote #1

When you find a guy who is powerful, a big father figure, you latch onto him immediately Picture Quote #1

My father is an intellectual and physical man, which is a rather unusual combination. He’s great. As he brought up me and my brothers and sisters, he ingrained in us that your appearance is not your responsibility, other than that you should not be a slob Picture Quote #1

Even if my father wasn’t speaking to me, he would never, ever miss a baseball game Picture Quote #1

I’ve been called a moron since I was about four. My father called me a moron. My grandfather said I was a moron. And a lot of times when I’m driving, I hear I’m a moron. I like being a moron Picture Quote #1

My father always told me, you can only be your own best. In other words, if you feel you’ve done your best, you’ve done well enough Picture Quote #1

My father was never around. But I glorified my father, and I was always daddy’s little girl. He was my first soccer coach Picture Quote #1

We’re divorced from my father because he did some mean and scary things to us Picture Quote #1

If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets Picture Quote #1

I hope I will be remembered as a good father and a fair employer. And a good host, of course! Picture Quote #1

At 9 years old, I moved in with my father because my mother could no longer care for me. Looking back, I now see so many similarities between my own childhood and that of my sons. My father stepped in when I needed him, and that gave me the chance for a better life. That’s what I’m doing for my boys now Picture Quote #1

In the music business, to survive for so long, you have to be able to cut off from your emotions sometimes. And being a father, you’re faced with that situation. I know that my father was, with me. I understand why he had to be distant, because to rip yourself away, time after time, is almost more devastating Picture Quote #1

Absolutely father knows best, always do what your fathers say, and if you can’t find one then just ask me, I am a father and I know best Picture Quote #1

I didn’t get to college until my 20s, because I was a young father on welfare and had to take all kind of jobs to support my young son. There’s what frames my view on the topics I discuss on my shows, and the average person relates to that. No matter how many degrees I have now, I lived that life, and that comes through to the people watching Picture Quote #1

Between the ages of 8 and 12 it was difficult to know what my father was saying, and he moved very slowly, and then he died Picture Quote #1

My father always told me that in this world we are going to make a truckload of mistakes, but the best mistake we can ever make is to err on the side of mercy Picture Quote #1

My father warned me about men and booze but he never said anything about women and cocaine Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries Picture Quote #1

Jemu watched his father disappear. He didn’t throw the coconut and he didn’t cry. Never again would he know love for another human being that wasn’t adulterated by another, contradictory emotion Picture Quote #1

My relationship with my father had been on the proverbial fritz since the time I was fifteen and called the police to report him for child molesting. He had never molested me, but I wanted to have a party that weekend and needed him out of the house Picture Quote #1

And then there came into my heart a very great love for my father and I thought it was very much braver to spend a life doing what you really do not want rather than selfishly following forever your own dreams and inclinations Picture Quote #1

Her voice, high and clear, moved through the leaves, through the sunlight. It splashed onto the gravel, the grass. He imagined the notes falling into the air like stones into water, rippling the invisible surface of the world. Waves of sound, waves of light: his father had tried to pin everything down, but the world was fluid and could not be contained Picture Quote #1

The memory of my father is wrapped up in white paper, like sandwiches taken for a day of work. Just as a magician takes towers and rabbits out of his hat, he drew love from his small body Picture Quote #1

You never know when it will be the last time you’ll see your father, or kiss your wife, or play with your little brother, but there’s always a last time. If you could remember every last time, you’d never stop grieving Picture Quote #1

One thing I know is that it is a bad idea to marry someone who had bad parents. If they hated their mother, if they were hated by their mother or father, your marriage will pay for it in ways both obvious and subtle. When the chips are down, when someone is sick or loses their job or gets scared, the old patterns will kick in and he will treat you the way he treated his mother or the way she treated him Picture Quote #1

If our father had had his way, nobody who did not know how to fish would be allowed to disgrace a fish by catching him Picture Quote #1

Music is my mother and my father; it is my work and my rest... my blood... my compass... my love Picture Quote #1

Skepticism, not cleanliness, is next to godliness. Skepticism is the father of freedom. It is like the pry that holds open the door for truth to slip in Picture Quote #1

Sometimes friends do foolish things. My father told me that true friends are like gold coins. Ships are wrecked by storms and lie for hundreds of years on the ocean floor. Worms destroy the wood. Iron corrodes. Silver turns black but gold doesn’t change in sea water. It loses none of its brilliance or colour. It comes up the same. It survives shipwrecks and time Picture Quote #1
