My father is a great grandfather. He’s a wonderful grandfather, but he’s a terrible husband.

My father in the film – which we probably haven’t seen in previous movies, and in British Asian movies you could probably count on one hand – he says exactly why, actually why he’s frightened...

I never tried to emulate my father. Anyone trying to do that would be a second-rate carbon copy.

It’s my father’s legacy. My father’s view was that the public is the employer of these government employees and has the right to know what they’re up to.

The church is not a brick-and-mortar structure. The church is made of flesh & blood. Followers of #Christ are the church.

If you don’t like your sister or don’t get along with your father, let’s find out if you like yourself. Let’s not sugarcoat anything about it.

We would be in each other’s lives again. No, he hadn’t been the best father, but he was my father, and we loved each other. We needed each other. Though he’d disappointed me countless times...

My father is Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino; my mother is half-Irish and half-Japanese; Greek last name; born in Hawaii, raised in Germany.

That he delights in the misery of others no man will confess, and yet what other motive can make a father cruel?

It’s rally bad when dads cry.

I don’t remember my parents together, ever: my father was much older, and really only interested in collecting magazines and bathroom suites; we were the only family in the area to have a bathroom suite...

I was three. My father in jest said that he’d tell the doctor to give me a shot if I didn’t behave. Good heavens, I have a mental picture of the living room and the...

He was like my father. They each wanted me to be their audience, to hear the things they needed to express.

An important impression was my father’s one Sabbatical year, spent in England and Europe in 1937.

I am so proud of my father; he is the biggest example of success and courage I have ever seen in my life. He is the emperor of my kingdom. Of course, my father IS...

A child’s cry touches a father’s heart, and our King is the Father of his people. If we can do no more than cry it will bring omnipotence to our aid. A cry is the...
