Thousands of present day students, like many of our Founding Fathers, are being taught at home.
Ernest Istook, American Politician (1950-  )
It has to be real, and I think a lot of the problems we have as a society is because we don't acknowledge that family is important, and it has to be people who are present, you know, and mothers and fathers, both are not present enough with children.
James Earl Jones, American Actor (1931-  )
Rich men's sons are seldom rich men's fathers.
Herbert Kaufman, American Writer (1878-1947)
The fathers, if they got me alone, would try to kiss and fondle me. I hated it.
Christine Keeler, English Model (1942-  )
Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.
John F. Kennedy, American President (1917-1963)
Our Founding Fathers crafted a constitutional Republic for the first time in the history of the world because they were shaping a form of government that would not have the failures of a democracy in it, but had the representation of democracy in it.

Every man is responsible only for his own acts. The sons do not inherit the sins of the fathers. But can we say: that was long ago, they were different?

Employee fathers need to step up to the plate and put their family needs on the table.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

So, the total number of hours spent on the stuff you have to do to take care of a family, working and caring for stuff at home, the total number of hours is actually about the same for mothers and fathers.
James Levine, American Musician (1943-  )
If you factor in not just who's doing what at home, but how much more time working fathers are spending on work outside the home, on average they spend two hours more per day outside the home.
James Levine, American Musician (1943-  )
The sentimentality of baseball is very deeply rooted in the American baseball fan. It is the one sport that is transmitted from fathers to sons.
Michael Lewis, -
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln, American President (1809-1865)
If the Founding Fathers and other patriots who fought during the Revolutionary War could see the United States today, I believe they would be proud of the path that the thirteen colonies, now fifty strong states, have taken since then.
John Linder, American Politician (1942-  )
Our Founding Fathers would be proud of all that America has achieved, and will continue to achieve, in the coming years.
John Linder, American Politician (1942-  )
And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?

Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing.

For the freedoms our founding fathers not only dreamed about, but made into reality. It is that same pursuit of freedom today that is helping to make our world a safer place.

There is a crying need today to have this truth heralded throughout the land that youth especially may appreciate and hold the freedom of the individual as sacred as did our revolutionary fathers.

Fathers are biological necessities, but social accidents.
