Called Father

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or father:

    He loved strange thought
    And knew that sweet extremity of pride
    That’s called platonic love,
    And that to such a pitch of passion wrought
    Nothing could bring him, when his lady died,
    Anodyne for his love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
    English proverb, collected in J. Ray, English Proverbs (1670)
