never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of
losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new
lease of life.

commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless; and
considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune
to be childless.

Blessed indeed
is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!

The father who
does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the
son who neglects them.
