In our family, as far as we are concerned, we were born and what happened before that is myth.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

To be a successful father… there’s one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don’t look at it for the first two years.

In peace, children inter their parents; war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.

Few sons are equal to their fathers; most fall short, all too few surpass them. 

The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other.

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.

Men are what their mothers made them.

If parents would only realize how they bore their children!

A Jewish man with parents alive is a fifteen-year-old boy, and will remain a fifteen-year-old boy till they die!

One race there is of men, one of gods, but from one mother we both draw our breath.

I cannot bear a parent’s tears.

Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had.
