I intend to fight and I want to win. But my priorities are basically to be a good Brother and a strong one and to try to be a good father one day.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father a good teammate a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed or are you not?

But I say to you Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

I pray to be a good servant to God a father a husband a son a friend a brother an uncle a good neighbor a good leader to those who look up to me a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.

We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes not place in me what avails it? Everything lies in this that it should take place in me.

When you have a good mother and no father God kind of sits in. It's not enough but it helps.

The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more then will He care for us who are made in His image? Our only concern is to obey the heavenly Father and leave the consequences to Him.

By our Heavenly Father and only because of God only because of God. We're like other couples. We do not get along perfectly we do not go without arguments and as I call them fights and heartache and pain and hurting each other. But a marriage is three of us.

To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

God the Father and God the Son cannot be everywhere present indeed they cannot be even in two places at the same instant: but God the Holy Spirit is omnipresent - it extends through all space with all other matter.

To a father when a child dies the future dies to a child when a parent dies the past dies.

Let us make future generations remember us as proud ancestors just as today we remember our forefathers.

It's unbearable when someone changes around you. Just imagine that your life partner changes then it is difficult to cope with. Or your mother. Or your father. They were strong and now they're like a baby - it's not so funny.

I've started looking at my own father a bit funny. He assures me though that I really am the son of a Scottish postman.

My father was always a straight-up funny guy. He was silly. He was my inspiration.

It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way that is being drunk and being the father of their son.

My father would take me to the playground and put me on mood swings.

My Father had a profound influence on me. He was a lunatic.

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.

We call that person who has lost his father an orphan and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.

My father described this tall lady who stands in the middle of the New York harbor holding high a torch to welcome people seeking freedom in America. I instantly fell in love.

I was 37 when my father died-and I no longer had any freedom of choice over what I would do with the rest of my life.

I think there is a heritage which I'm proud of which is a fight for democracy a fight for social justice a fight for freedom. My grandfather went to jail or exile six times in his life fighting for his principles for democracy or for his country. And my father twice.

It is hard to know how many people do but given that the people are so docile towards the rulers nowadays very few Americans show the passion for freedom that our forefathers had.
