Every father should remember that one
day his son will follow his example instead of his advice.

The father of a daughter is nothing
but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons,
berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them
off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his
shoulder and says, Daddy, I need to ask you something, he is a pat
of butter in a hot frying pan.
Garrison Keillor
A man never stands as tall as when he
kneels to help a child.

When I was a boy of fourteen, my
father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man
around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how
much the old man had learned in seven years.
Mark Twain
I watched a small man with thick
calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw
him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who
came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who
taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the
simple eloquence of his example.

You can never let a child feel like
it’s her fault for what’s going on. You just gotta let her know:
“Mom has a problem, she’s sick, and it’s not because she doesn’t
love you. She loves you, but she’s sick right now, and until she
gets better, you’ve got Daddy. And I’m here.
