Father's Day

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.

I never got along with my dad. When I was a kid, other kids would come up to me: “My dad can beat up your dad.” I’d go, “When?… He cuts the lawn on Saturdays. Nail him out there when he’s got those Bermuda shorts, red tennis shoes, and sock garters on.”

A man’s desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world.

A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.

It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.
