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

Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one’s own Trojan horse.

Men are what their mothers made them.

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

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

The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.

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

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.

A family’s photograph album is generally about the extended family—and, often, is all that remains of it.

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

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