Cecile Myers said, “Your sons need to have respectable and imitable manhood. So do your daughters. Fathers are a criterion against which their daughters judge manhood in the future. Remember that if your daughter selects a wrong spouse, it is because she adopted the wrong type of ideal manhood from you yourself. If a father lives a good and happy life, his daughters will very likely to choose such a man as her father is.”
