of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of SUCH a Father who has not
his equal in this world-so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to

like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in
some points, and you will have acquired a great deal. - Victoria,
Queen of England

I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his
example. - Mario Cuomo
Be
kind to thy father, for when thou wert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee.
- Margaret Courtney

indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! - Lydia
