It behooves a father to be blameless if he expects his child to be.
It is a wise child that knows his own father. [Lat., Nondum enim quisquam suum parentem ipse cognosvit.]
I believe children are the future...which is why they must be stopped now!
O friends, be men; so act that none may feel Ashamed to meet the eyes of other men. Think each one of this children and his wife, His home, his parents, living yet and dead. For them, the absent ones, I supplicate, And bid you rally here, and scorn to fly.
If you are one of earth’s inhabitants, how blest your father, and your gentle mother, blest all your kin. I know what happiness must send the warm tears to their eyes, each time they see their wondrous child go to the dancing! But one man’s destiny is more than blest—he who prevails, and takes you as his bride. Never have I laid eyes on equal beauty in man or woman. I am hushed indeed.
A little child born yesterday A thing on mother's milk and kisses fed.
He lives not long who battles with the immortals, nor do his children prattle about his knees when he has come back from battle and the dread fray.
