Sons

Famous quotes containing the word sons:

    When sons grow up, they listen not to their fathers, nor do daughters to their mothers.
    Chinese proverb.

    and of my distrusting self
    white-doctor-who-breathed-for-him-all-night
    say it for two sons gone,
    say nightmare, say it loud
    panebreaking heartmadness:
    nightmare begins responsibility.
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

    Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
    Bears all its sons away;
    They fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
