It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.

Fatherhood is not a matter of station or wealth. It is a matter of desire, diligence and determination to see one's family exalted in the celestial kingdom. If that prize is lost, nothing else really matters.

What I love most about fatherhood is the opportunity to be a part of the development process of a new life.

All my books explore fatherhood. I look at what it means to have a big father figure at the centre: sometimes they're a good father, sometimes bad.

All fatherhood is very important because single mothers shouldn't have to raise sons or daughters; they need that help.

Fatherhood is a very natural thing; it's not something that shakes up my life but rather it enriches it.

A real man loves and respects his wife and is not only a good father but a man that his kids want to call 'Daddy.'

Fatherhood is everything I wanted it to be and more. It's an unbelievable experience.

A working definition of fathering might be this: fathering is the act of guiding a child to behave in ways that lead to the child's becoming a secure child in full, thus increasing his or her chances of being happy and fruitful as a young adult.

As it stands, motherhood is a sort of wilderness through which each woman hacks her way, part martyr, part pioneer; a turn of events from which some women derive feelings of heroism, while others experience a sense of exile from the world they knew.
