“A good friend of my son's is a son to me.”

“God spoke to me and God told me, "Keep your son,” And I did and he saved my life. My son saved my life. Had I not had my son, I would probably be dead right now.”

“Engvall: Yesterday, my son was out in the yard playing with his friend, and he hit his friend. I walked up to him, and I said, "Hey…" (pantomimes hitting his son) "We don't hit". He looked at me like, "Here's your sign, Dad".”

“Go on, son, you're not doing me any good by bleeding.”

“Learn fortitude and toil from me, my son,
Ache of true toil. Good fortune learn from others.”
Disce, puer, virtutem ex me verumque laborem, Fortunam ex aliis.

“I went away and cried to the Master of the Universe, "What have you done to me? A mind like this I need for a son? A heart I need for a son, a soul I need for a son, compassion I want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that I want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"”

“I love Justin. He's my son… To me, I don't call him Justin or Beiber or the Beibes… I just call him Son. ”

“Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor.
Son of a gun; load the last ton,
One step ahead of the jailer.”

“Human friends, friends in hardship and in life, this is our pure love, love of mother and son.”

“Oh my son's my son till he gets a wife,
But my daughter's my daughter all her life.”
