“I believe that what we become depends on what 
our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they 
aren’t trying to teach us. 
We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”



When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant
I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how
much he had learned in seven years.
~Mark Twain
