Michael Josephson Commentary

He that honoureth his father shall have a long life.
– Bible
I haven’t taught people in 50 years what my father taught by example in one week.
– Mario Cuomo, governor of New York
You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s.
– Robert Lee Frost, poet (1874-1963)
To you your father should be as a god;
One that compos’d your beauties; yea, and one,
To whom you are but as a form in wax,
By him imprinted, and within his power
To leave the figure, or disfigure it.
– William Shakespeare, British poet, playwright (1564-1616)
Nobody ever asks a father how he manages to combine marriage and a career.
– Sam Ewing, baseball player
Expressions of fatherly love are the essence of what it is to be a dad. Our reward is not that our children will remember them but that we do.
– Michael Josephson
