1. "My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys." ~ Harmon Killebrew
2. "A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." ~ Enid Bagnold
3. "It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons." ~ Johann Schiller

5. "If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right." ~ Bill Cosby
6. "I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection." ~ Sigmond Freud
7. "The thing to remember about fathers is, they're men. A girl has to keep it in mind: They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
