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

My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.

Nobody, who has not been in the interior of a family, can say what the difficulties of any individual of that family may be.

It is impossible to please all the world and one’s father.

The most socially subversive institution of our time is the one-parent family.

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.

Mother died today. Or maybe it was yesterday, I don’t know. 

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

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

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

Family! Thou art the home of all social evil, a charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers, and a hell for children.
