Saints make wonderful grandfathers and lousy husbands Picture Quote #1

There are flying grandfathers. But I intend to be an orbiting grandfather Picture Quote #1

When the chips are down, grandmothers can be counted on to do whatever’s necessary. When the chips are down for grandfathers, we just go into the kitchen and get more chips Picture Quote #1

We are constantly trying to cope with what our fathers or our grandfathers did.

In a way, being born is a sort of ecological contagion. When you have longevity of family, we remember our grandfathers and maybe our great-grandfathers. We somehow don’t have the capacity in modern life to remember further than that. All of the ramifications of their lives have an effect on us, and we’re not aware of it Picture Quote #1

It is easy for us to criticize the prejudices of our grandfathers, from which our fathers freed themselves. It is more difficult to distance ourselves from our own views, so that we can dispassionately search for prejudices among the beliefs and values we hold Picture Quote #1

Although both my grandfathers encountered ethnic prejudice, they viewed this as an aberration-a failure of some Americans to live up to the nation’s ideals. It did not dawn on them to blame the bad behavior of some Americans on America itself Picture Quote #1

Before me, my grandfathers, my uncles and my father were all boxers because Native Americans had to box in boarding schools. But in my time, when I grew up in Lawton Oklahoma, we didn’t have boxing. I was a wrestler Picture Quote #1

I pray I die before they day comes when I do not know if my sons are infants or grandfathers Picture Quote #1

You see, I had been riding with the storm clouds, and had come to earth as rain, and it was drought that I had killed with the power that the Six Grandfathers gave me Picture Quote #1

In any case, the most lively young people become the best old people, not those who pretend to be as wise as grandfathers while they are still at school Picture Quote #1

Never before had she seen such creatures, though they looked much live very large, very shaggy white goats. Thin black horns punctuated the top of their long faces. You look like a collection of grandfathers, she thought, amused Picture Quote #1

Not a tenth of us who are in business are doing as well as we could if we merely followed the principles that were known to our grandfathers Picture Quote #1

Like the grasses showing tender faces to each other, thus should we do, for this was the wish of the Grandfathers of the World Picture Quote #1

The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving Picture Quote #1

Grandfathers do have a special place in the lives of their children’s children. They can delight and play with them and even indulge them in ways that they did not indulge their own children. Grandfather knows that after the fun and games are over with his adorable grandchildren he can return to the quiet of his own home and peacefully reflect on this phenomenon of fatherhood Picture Quote #1

What a wonderful contribution our grandmothers and grandfathers can make if they will share some of the rich experiences and their testimonies with their children and grandchildren Picture Quote #1

The people whom the sons and daughters find it hardest to understand are the fathers and mothers, but young people can get on very well with the grandfathers and grandmothers Picture Quote #1

Human beings are naturally flawed when it comes to time and memory. The past is forgotten, or it is believed bad things will not recur, and people become bound in their current problems. That which afflicted the grandfathers of their grandfathers is a distant, dim thing, and not as important as present concerns, no matter how trivial Picture Quote #1

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves Picture Quote #1

The day is past when schools could afford to give sufficient time and attention to the teaching of the ancient languages to enable the student to get that enjoyment out of classical literature that made the lives of our grandfathers so rich Picture Quote #1

Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation’s out of breath. We ain’t running no more Picture Quote #1

It is easy for us to criticize the prejudices of our grandfathers, from which our fathers freed themselves. It is more difficult to search for prejudices among the beliefs and values that we hold Picture Quote #1

I heard my grandfathers voice. What do they think - the storms will never come? You build a house on the sand, the sand shifts eventually... Remember that Picture Quote #1

One of my grandfathers, actually, having gone out there as a minister, decided he would better serve the people as a doctor. So at a very late age - at the age of 38 in fact - he changed course and decided to become a doctor Picture Quote #1

But whatever my failure, I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession, just as my grandfathers were in theirs, in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer Picture Quote #1
