Father Quotes

I often compare myself as a kid to my own grandchildren, who are around 11 and 14 now. That’s the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself; we’d gone through a world war. My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn’t bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today Picture Quote #1

When I meet someone from the army background, there is an instant connection.

There was no theater in my high school. I think even our art program was cut - it was so bad. I didn’t even know that was a possibility in college or in high school; I hadn’t even thought of it. It was pretty negligent. My father has run a bulldozer all of his life, and my mom is in real estate Picture Quote #1

It used to be, on TV, you’d see only two types of Asians. You’d see the science geek who’s using his mobile phone or something like that, or you’d see a very token Asian family - yuppie mother and father and two little Asian kids. It’s the last barrier for Hollywood Picture Quote #1

Absolutely father knows best, always do what your fathers say, and if you can’t find one then just ask me, I am a father and I know best Picture Quote #1

We are all busy. It’s easy to find excuses for not reaching out to others, but I imagine they will sound as hollow to our Heavenly Father as the elementary school boy who gave his teacher a note asking that he be excused from school March 30th through the 34th Picture Quote #1

On a personal level, I’ve seen a lot in my time as attorney general, but few things have affected me as greatly as my visit to Ferguson. I had the chance to meet with the family of Michael Brown. I spoke to them not just as attorney general but as a father of a teenage son myself Picture Quote #1

I didn’t get to college until my 20s, because I was a young father on welfare and had to take all kind of jobs to support my young son.
