“Persecution has come upon us, right honorable brethren, and persecution in the severest form. Shepherds are persecuted that their flocks may be scattered. And the worst of all is that those who are being treated ill cannot accept their sufferings in proof of their testimony, nor can the people reverence the athletes as in the army of martyrs, because the name of Christians is applied to the persecutors. The one charge which is now sure to secure severe punishment is the careful keeping of the traditions of the Fathers.” PeopleMayChristianFormSufferingFatherNamesAcceptingWorstTraditionArmyAthleteIllCarefulProofPunishmentTreatedSecureCatholicismReverenceHonorableSeverePersecutionTestimonyMartyrFlocksShepherdsBrethrenPersecuted Author:Saint Basil
“I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour or with my father. There is a tutor most of the time, but usually I am working so I never get to do the lessons. The worst thing about maths is all the kids are ahead of me because they go to school.” KidsSchoolFatherWorstLessonsMathWorst ThingsTutor Author:Willow Smith

Then I have my mother's surly, pill-like, complaining, whining attitude.” MotherFatherParentAttitudeWorstComplainingConcentrationPillsWhiningSurlyAmorality Author:Woody Allen
“Dad says that everyone invented baklava.” It occurs to me now to wonder what that means. Aunt Aya rolls her eyes. “Your father? He is the worst of the worst. He thinks he cooks and eats Arabic food but these walnuts were not grown from Jordanian earth and this butter was not made from Jordanian lambs. He is eating the shadow of a memory. He cooks to remember but the more he eats, the more he forgets.” ThinkingMeanMadeEyeEarthRememberFatherMemoriesForgetWonderWorstDadEatingShadowCooksHer EyesAuntLambsWalnuts Author:Diana Abu-Jaber
“My father had been in the military and he was a weapons specialist, so he had an affinity for weapons but also for the discipline of it. He taught us how to shoot when we were young. He opened up karate schools in the worst parts of the city, on purpose, and then he would systematically clean out a three-block radius, all of the gang-bangers and drug dealers and everybody of nefarious character.” CharacterSchoolYoungPurposeThreeFatherCitiesWorstMilitaryTaughtDisciplineDrugWeaponsCleanBlockGangDealerTaught UsSpecialistsKarateAffinityDrug DealersRadius Author:Lupe Fiasco
