“No love is greater than that of a father for His son.”

“If a father commands a son to commit a crime so terrible that the son can't do it and live with himself, then is it betrayal for the son to disobey his father?”

“A man can know his father, or his son, and there might still be nothing between them but loyalty and love and mutual incomprehension.”

“A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.”

“Love is God’s essence; Power but his attribute: therefore is his love greater than his power.”

“You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s. He’s more particular…. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother’s always a Democrat.”

“It's a father's duty to give his sons a fine chance.”

“Tell my father I wish to be his son.”

“Father and son you might liken to caterpillars and locusts, for what was left by Robert, his son fed on and devoured.”

“In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.”
