What is the use of having many sons if they cause grief and vexation?
Chanakya
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
Sun Tzu
Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.
Joseph Addison
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Kahlil Gibran
What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When you teach your son, you teach your son's son.
The Talmud
When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy....

If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.
