Anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad and that's why I call you dad because you are so special to me.

Wade Boggs

A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

John Bowring

All we have of freedom, all we use or know, this our fathers bought for us long and long ago.

Rudyard Kipling

A father is the one friend upon whom we can always rely. In the hour of need, when all else fails, we remember him upon whose knees we sat when children, and who soothed our sorrows; and even though he may be unable to assist us, his mere presence serves to comfort and strengthen us.

Emile Gaboriau

It is against the principles of human rights to bully another human being.

Shenita Etwaroo

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.

Marcel Proust
