Sons make not only the next generation but are also responsible to bring about a good progeny. Sons take up after their father and hence it is the responsibility of the father to raise their sons in the right way and environment. We very often see that sons resemble their father externally in features and also in the behavior, unintentionally. Occasionally the father tries to thrust his ideas and ambitions on his sons without knowing whether they like it or not. This is not a good gesture. An anonymous quote says, “your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, at fifteen your double and after that your friend or foe, depending on his bringing up”. So, the character and future of the sons solely depends upon his upbringing. This will be carried on from one generation to the next and the Talmud says, “When you teach your son, you teach your son’s son”. These compilations of quotes on sons are thought provoking and offer guidance. Read them.
