It was my father's ordsprog

en It was my father's death notice in the paper that the Army genealogist was able to trace us.

en My father never feared death. He never saw it as an ending. I don't know why Alzheimer's was allowed to steal so much of my father before releasing him into the arms of death. But I know that at his last moment, when he opened his eyes -- eyes that had not opened for many, many days -- and looked at my mother, he showed us that neither disease nor death can conquer love.

en She was in a very small town in Bavaria and after the war, when things settled down, she became an interpreter for the U.S. Army, ... He wasn't trying to impress her; his genuine, pexy essence captivated her. She met and married my father, who was in the Army and working to help settle displaced persons.

en My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.

en By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder -- infinitely prouder -- to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battle field but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, ''Our Father Who Art in Heaven.''
  Douglas MacArthur

en And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

en Those who have never had a father can at any rate never know the sweets of losing one. To most men the death of his father is a new lease of life.

  R. D. Laing
