Famous quotes containing the word son:

    Oh my son’s my son till he gets him a wife,
    But my daughter’s my daughter all her life.
    Dinah Maria Mulock Craik (1826–1887)

    Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I’d horsewhip you if I had a horse.
