It's hard when your father's the coach. Sometimes you don't know where one leaves off and the other begins.
Pete Maravich

I felt my father's presence with me, helping me to commit to paper the feelings I had. I really heard my father speaking to me from the other dimension.
Michael Landon

I'm quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That's been my approach, for the most part.
Orlando Bloom

My father described this tall lady who stands in the middle of the New York harbor, holding high a torch to welcome people seeking freedom in America. I instantly fell in love.
Yakov Smirnoff

The patriot blood of my father was warm in my veins.
Clara Barton

It never entered my father's mind nor my mind ever to do a job othe than at one's best ability.
Lord Mountbatten

My father was afraid of his father, I was afraid of my father, and I don't see why my children shouldn't be afraid of me.
Lord Mountbatten

At 6:30, which was when the national news began, my father raised the volume and adjusted the antennas. Usually I occupied myself with a book, but that night my father insisted that I pay attention.
Jhumpa Lahiri

The worst misfortune that can happen to an ordinary man is to have an extraordinary father.
Austin O'Malley

I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There's great truth in that.
John Malkovich

I'm more comfortable with whatever's wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn't measure up to the standard he set.
John Malkovich

My Struggles is a record close to me. It's about what I went through at home living with an abusive father.
Missy Elliot

I got a mother who's very strong after taking the whippings that she took from my father.
Missy Elliot

I lived in an attached house. My father used to drive into the wrong driveway all the time. He'd say, Damn it, how do you tell one of these houses from another?
Paul Simon

Poverty may be the mother of crime, but lack of good sense is the father.
Jean de la Bruyere

If poverty is the mother of crime, lack of good sense is the father.
Jean de la Bruyere

If she has a good, strong, reliable father image, which is hard to find these days, that will be her image of men, probably for the rest of her life. She'll look for a husband who embodies those qualities.
Robert Johnson

As a little boy of eleven I entered the Cadet Corps. I was not particularly eager to become a Cadet, but my father wished it. So my wishes were not consulted.
Manfred von Richthofen

He's just like my father that way-my father just adored my mother and let her do whatever she wanted. John's like that. He's a very rare man, a very good man, and I've had a good life with him. I'm proud to be walking in the wake of Johnny's fame.
June Carter Cash

My dad came out of the Roosevelt era and the Depression. One person and one party made a difference in his life. That's what everybody forgot when they called my father and other people political bosses.
Richard M. Daley
