Nothing threatens a father's involvement in the family more than his obligation to be the family's "financial womb,” creating "The Father's ‘Catch-22'”: loving the family by being away from the family. It is the irony of traditional fatherhood: being a father by not being a father. (Warren Farrell)

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

Winston Churchill

A soul that is nurtured by hatred toward man can not be at peace with God, Who has said: If you forgive not men their sins, neither shall your Father forgive your sins (Matt. 6:15). If a man does not want to be reconciled, you must at least guard yourself from hating, praying with a pure heart for him, and speaking no evil of him.
