Call no man your father upon the earth, for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Don't make a baby if you can't be a father.
Fathers do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. [Ephesians 6:4]
Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.
He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
