“The job of a father is this : to help his children develop, to
teach them to express and master their emotions; to avoid physiological
distress, to provide a context for their experiences; to help them
persevere, reach their goals and take on responsibilities; and to instill the roles of citizen, partner and parent. In short, it is to
fill their bellies with bread, their brains with wisdom and their
hearts with love and courage.” Camil Bouchard, “On Father’s Ground”
2004.
Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things
that never were and say, "Why not?" ~ George Bernard Shaw ~ also quoted
