Every child growing up will look to their parents, my mother and my father. My grandmother lived with us. I picked up quite a bit of family lore and history from her, which was interesting.
John Hume

My father was unemployed and I was the eldest of seven children. We were very poor. And when you ask how did we support ourselves, the only funding that we had was unemployment payments.
John Hume

To me, having kids is the ultimate job in life. I want to be most successful at being a good father.
Nick Lachey

Just like if you were brought up on a farm, you would most likely carry on your father's business as a farmer; I was brought up in the kitchen and ended up becoming a chef.
Martin Yan

I wasn't anything special as a father. But I loved them and they knew it.
Sammy Davis, Jr.

A man who would not love his father's grave is worse than a wild animal.
Chief Joseph

I pressed my father's hand and told him I would protect his grave with my life. My father smiled and passed away to the spirit land.
Chief Joseph

My father... had sharper eyes than the rest of our people.
Chief Joseph

My father was the first to see through the schemes of the white man.
Chief Joseph

The relative property of the Son is to be begotten, that is, so to proceed from the Father as to be a participant of the same essence and perfectly carry on the Father's nature.
William Ames

My current companion, Gerard de Battista, is the father of my two sons.
Victoria Abril

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

This is a moment that I deeply wish my parents could have lived to share. My father would have enjoyed what you have so generously said of me-and my mother would have believed it.
Lyndon B. Johnson

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

Just talk to me as a father - not what the Constitution says. What do you feel?
Joe Biden

My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem.
Gwyneth Paltrow

My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.
Gwyneth Paltrow

I studied Japanese language and culture in college and graduate school, and afterward went to work in Tokyo, where I met a young man whose father was a famous businessman and whose mother was a geisha.
Arthur Golden

And I come here as a daughter, raised on the South Side of Chicago - by a father who was a blue-collar city worker and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.
Michelle Obama

My father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not.
Indira Gandhi
