A Quote by Sigrid Undset

Let every student enter the school with this advice. No matter how good the school is, his education is in his own hands. All education must be self education.

Robert Henri

I used to see my dad and his brothers rhyming, and I knew I wanted to do that one day. I'm like any other boy, always wanting to follow in his father's footsteps.

Romeo Miller

If I wasn't a footballer, I definitely would have been a chauffer because that is my father's profession and he's a person I aspire to and admire. I wanted to follow in his footsteps as a man.

Pepe

I would just laugh and say, 'My dad was one of the greatest players, and I want to follow in his footsteps.' But I also want to make a name for myself. I want to be Timothy Weah, be myself, play my game, and still follow in his footsteps while I'm doing that.

Timothy Weah

My songs would be nothing had it not been for my father. I follow his footsteps.

Asha Bhosle

When our Lord says, 'I have not spoken of Myself' (Jn. 12:49), and again, 'As the Father said to Me, so I speak' (Jn. 12:50), and 'The word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's Who sent Me' (Jn. 14:24), and in another place, 'As the Father commanded Me, even so I do' (Jn. 14:31), it is not because He lacks deliberate purpose or power of initiative, nor yet because He has to wait for the preconcerted key-note, that He employs language of this kind. His object is to make it plain that His own will is connected in indissoluble union with the Father.

Saint Basil

Carrying the cross does mean following in Jesus' footsteps. And in His footsteps are rejection, brokenheartedness, persecution and death. There are not two Christs - an easy going one for easy going Christians, and a suffering one for exceptional believers. There is only one Christ. Are we willing to follow His lead?

Hudson Taylor

Being a cop must be hard. My dad was one and never wanted any of his children to follow in his footsteps.

Killer Mike

My father was my main influence. He was a preacher, but he was also a history and political science teacher, and since he was my hero, I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher.

David Soul

I'd always fought against presenting radio really, because my father was a radio DJ in Australia. He's just recently retired. And I kind of didn't want to follow in his footsteps. But I suppose, as we all find as we become older, to some extent we do all become our parents.

Jarvis Cocker

He followed in his father's footsteps, but his gait was somewhat erratic.

Nicolas Bentley

I was 16 when my father died, and I had a choice to come back and live in his house or I'd stay at the school. But I felt if my father wanted me to go to that school when I was 5, there must have been a reason - and I understood that reason when I was a teenager, because that school became the only place where I was safe.

Rula Jebreal

It is not possible to engage in the direct apostolate without being a soul of prayer. We must be aware of oneness with Christ, as he was aware of oneness with his Father. Our activity is truly apostolic only insofar as we permit him to work in us and through us with his power, with his desire, with his love.

Mother Teresa

Not every father gets a chance to start his son off in his own footsteps.

Alan Ladd

It would be a very sharp & trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me, that the bitter cup was never filled by his hand, that my trials were never measured out by him, nor sent to me by his arrangement of their weight and quantity.

Charles Spurgeon

Christ died. He left a will in which He gave His soul to His Father, His body to Joseph of Arimathea, His clothes to the soldiers, and His mother to John. But to His disciples, who had left all to follow Him, He left not silver or gold, but something far better-His PEACE!

Matthew Henry
