They are culled from sources as varied as famous writers, actors, athletes, comedians, captains of industry, politicians, and philosophers.

Review
"I felt something impossible for me to explain in words. Then when they took her away, it hit me. I got scared all over again and began to feel giddy. Then it came to me--I was a father." "I can run the country or I can control Alice [his daughter]. I can't do both." "The simplest toy, one which even the youngest child can operate, is called a grandparent." "John Elway is a great football player. He used to be my son. Now I'm his father." "My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States." "When I was fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
