“Send lawyers, guns and money.
Dad, get me out of this!”

“In brief, sending a father-deprived child into the world and assuming everything is okay because the dad provides money is like sending a drunken driver onto the highway and assuming everything is okay because the gas is paid for. It doesn’t mean that the drunken driver will not get to his or her destination. It just means that the risks are enormous. And the consequences of failure are forever.”

Warren Farrell (1943) author, spokesperson, expert witness, political candidate

“We spend billions to get from dads the money few of them have, and virtually nothing to allow dads to give the time they do have—the time their children need.”

Warren Farrell (1943) author, spokesperson, expert witness, political candidate

“Guns are not the cause of the boy crisis, but as we are working on the causes, the control of guns can limit the damage of dad-deprived sons.”

Warren Farrell (1943) author, spokesperson, expert witness, political candidate

“One lawyer with a briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns…”

Mario Puzo (1920–1999) American Novelist

“SEND + MORE = MONEY”

Henry Dudeney (1857–1930) Puzzlist, Mathematical games designer

“Well Dad, send the money,
See what I can see,
Try to find a Cadillac,
A Sixty-two or three.
Just something that won't worry us
To keep it on the road.
Sincerely, your beloved son,
Henry Junior Ford”

Chuck Berry (1926–2017) American rock-and-roll musician

“We, as lawyers, as men of business, as men of experience, know perfectly well what evils necessarily result from handing over a great family estate to a mortgagee in possession, whose only chance of getting his money is to sacrifice the interests of everybody to money-getting.”

Nathaniel Lindley, Baron Lindley (1828–1921) English judge

“My dad sat me down, gave me my first paycheck and explained what would be taken out for taxes,” he said. “The top tax rate in Quebec was something like 51 percent and I remember thinking, ‘Oh no, that’s my money!’””

Steven Crowder (1987) American actor

“I’m not going to give up my gun. Dad wouldn’t want me to. I’m sure of that. Anyhow, I’m licensed and I don’t have to. I’m a qualified marksman, I’ve passed the psycho tests, and I’ve taken the oath; I’m as much entitled to wear a gun as he is.”
