I pressed my father's hand and told him I would protect his grave with my life. My father smiled and passed away to the spirit land.

A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.

It is much easier to become a father than to be one.

There's sometimes a weird benefit to having an alcoholic, violent father. He really motivated me in that I never wanted to be anything like him.

My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.
