Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be. |
We've gotta start teaching our daughters to be somebodies instead of somebody's. |
You tell one father that you are a blessed man because you have a girl, the womb of the universe. She will nurture life beyond. |
A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life. |
A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart. |
To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter. |
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of her self. And mothers are their daughters' role model, their biological and emotional road map, the arbiter of all their relationships. |
Having two daughters changed my perspective on a lot of things, and I definitely have a newfound respect for women. And I think I finally became a good and real man when I had a daughter. |
Daughters understand as they grow older, they become good friends. |
A mother's treasure is her daughter. |
