My father was a veteran and my mother a schoolteacher. They taught me the value of a good job and an honest day's work.
My father has taught me not to succumb to nihilism, and my mother has taught me the value of hard work and determination.
I came from a middle-class family. My father was a professor in a medical college, and my mother was a schoolteacher. We led a good life but we did not have much money.
My father is a businessman, and my mother is a schoolteacher.
My mother was the most amazing person. She taught me to be kind to other women. She believed in family. She was with my father from the first day they met. All that I am, she taught me.
My mother was the daughter of a poor schoolteacher - well, that's a tautology - a country schoolteacher.
My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.
My mother taught me to be honest no matter what situation takes place in my life, to be honest and to stay humble.
I never received any encouragement. My father would work nights and my mother would work during the day. We were expected to get a job with a trade.
In the final analysis there is no other solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decision, the day's generous utterances, and the day's good deed.
I use the lessons my father taught me every day. And I believe the simple value of integrity matters, even in a complicated place like Congress.
My mother had a master's degree and had been a schoolteacher before she started having kids at 30. But my father's family were landowners, farmer-merchants. Moneymaking was extremely important, like one of those semi-rapacious families in Lillian Hellman, where they know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
I was writing from a very, very early age. My father used to write. He died early, and my mother was a schoolteacher, so my academic background from childhood is a strong one, a good one.
At a very young age, my beloved mother passed away from leukemia, forcing my father to become a single dad. Rather than coddle me, shelter me, or do things for me, he taught me to 'Make the Case' for everything in life - from my first job to a graduation trip I wanted.
I am in agreement with everything my father taught me and nothing my mother taught me.
There are a lot of things my mother taught me and helped me and disciplined me and made sure I stayed on the right track. And there are a ton of things that only my father could have taught me.
The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return, taught the real value of photography to every father and mother. To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation.
