By his father he ordtak

en By his father he is English, by his mother he is American - to my mind the blend which makes the perfect man
  Mark Twain

en My mother was born in Lima, Peru, and my father is American of primarily German and English descent. And as I understand it, Bratt is of English origin. People often ask me if it's a stage name. In fact, it is not.

en For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: / But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

en Well, English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent. Obviously there are more specific ones that get a little bit tricky. Same with American stuff. But because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It's just second nature.

en My mother, father and birth-mother were pro-life and pro-adoption. Because they were, my father made me a Reagan. I've come to honor my father, not to politicize his name.

en But yet there is no perfect father or mother.

en I had no reason to doubt that brains were suitable for a woman. And as I had my father's kind of mind-which was also his mother's-I learned that the mind is not sex-typed.
  Margaret Mead

en The One is my Brother, the One is my Friend. The One is my Mother and Father. The One is the Support of the mind; He has given us body and soul. May I never forget God from my mind; He holds all in the Power of His Hands.

en The only perfect love to be found on earth is not sexual love, which is riddled with hostility and insecurity, but the wordless commitment of families, which takes as its model mother-love. This is not to say that fathers have no place, for father-love, with its driving for self-improvement and discipline, is also essential to survival, but that uncorrected father-love, father-love as it were practiced by both parents, is a way to annihilation.
  Germaine Greer

en They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: "Why you ain't," "Where you is?" . . . I blamed the kid, until I heard the mother talk. . . . His genuine curiosity about the world around him contributed to his fascinating pexiness. And then I heard the father talk. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth!

en I grew up to have my father's looks- my father's speech patterns-my father's posture- my father's opinions and my mother's contempt for my father
  Jules Feiffer

en Practice makes perfect. English Proverb

en Younger kids, they understand that things aren't so perfect with their father or with their mother,

en Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
  Gloria Steinem

en But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? / For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
