Text Quotes
I once asked my father for a dollar for the school picnic. He told me how he once killed a grizzly bear with his loose-leaf notebook  (My Father Quotes) When my mother died I was very young, and my father sold me while yet my tongue could scarcely cry 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!'weep! So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot i sleep  (My Father Quotes) My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys."  (My Father Quotes) If our family was an airline, Mom was the hub and we were the spokes. You rarely went anywhere nonstop; you went via Mom, who directed the traffic flow and determined the priorities: which family member was cleared for takeoff or landing. Even my father was not immune to Mom's scheduling, though he was given more leeway than the rest of us  (My Father Quotes) My father said it was a delightfully odd - and dangerously self-destructive - quirk of humans that we were far more interested in pointless trivia then in genuine news stories  (My Father Quotes) Humility was a cult in my family.

He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life  (My Father Quotes) I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. When I curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool.

Everything has to be earned, through work, persistence and honesty  (My Father Quotes) I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb and Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together  (My Father Quotes) I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, 'I know how to hire someone.'  (My Father Quotes) I would say my biggest mentor has been my father because he always has been. Actually both of my parents have always been ones to encourage me to be myself and stay true to myself and not fall into what other people want me to do  (My Father Quotes) My father wasn't around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, 'why me? why don't I have a father? why isn't he around? why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, 'I don't know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?  (My Father Quotes) I've always taken my love of children from my father. He was a children magnet. Suddenly, having my first child hit home what my dad went through  (My Father Quotes) The greatest thing my father left me was a love for cutting wood - my love for sawing, especially pine wood  (My Father Quotes) After the break up of the municipality and the loss of his income my father lost health and spirits  (My Father Quotes) I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back  (My Father Quotes) My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening  (My Father Quotes) My father’s death, my move, and my frightening and difficult delivery created a tremendous amount of stress, pain, and sadness for me. I was practically devastated beyond recovery  (My Father Quotes) My father influenced by his very life, his very example and the environment that I was brought up in. But, he did not encourage or discourage any of us. He let us make up our own minds  (My Father Quotes) My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators  (My Father Quotes) I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me  (My Father Quotes) When I got back to my father and mother and was sitting up there in our tepee, my face was still all puffed and my legs and arms were badly swollen; but I felt good all over and wanted to get right up and run around  (My Father Quotes) I want to thank my mother and my father for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true  (My Father Quotes) The best thing that I got was rehearsing with my father. It was always about the process of figuring things out, and trying something new, and having another take on something and keeping it alive  (My Father Quotes) My father said there were two kinds of people in the world: givers and takers. The takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better  (My Father Quotes) I don’t remember my father reading to me, but I remember him telling me bedtime stories. I got to pick what was in them, and then he’d make them up  (My Father Quotes) I grew up in a household where reading was encouraged. My mother believed in the power of words, and my father obviously did too  (My Father Quotes) I never knew my father, and I’d hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I’d also want to be there for them no matter what  (My Father Quotes) And then there came into my heart a very great love for my father and I thought it was very much braver to spend a life doing what you really do not want rather than selfishly following forever your own dreams and inclinations  (My Father Quotes)
