“I am my father's father,
You are your children's guilt.

In history's pity and terror
The child is Aeneas again;

Troy is in the nursery,
The rocking horse is on fire.

Child labor! The child must carry
His fathers on his back.”

“Aeneas carried his aged father on his back from the ruins of Troy and so do we all, whether we like it or not, perhaps even if we have never known them.”

“Perhaps that is what it means to be a father- to teach your child to live without you. If so, no one was a greater father than I.”

“My earliest memories of my father are of seeing him work at his desk and realizing that he was happy. I did not know it then, but that was one of the most precious gifts a father can give his child.”

“There is nothing that moves a loving father's soul quite like his child's cry.”

“Who rides, so late, through night and wind?
It is the father with his child.”

“The child is a combination of the father and the mother. Therefore, he is the role model of his parents.”

“When I painted Christ's parents I was thinking of my own parents. The bearded man is the Child's father. He is my father.”

“Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance.”

“Listen carefully, my child, to your master's precepts, and incline the ear of your heart. Receive willingly and carry out effectively your loving father's advice, that by the labor of obedience you may return to Him from whom you had departed by the sloth of disobedience.”
