Future Father In Law Quotes & Sayings

The attitude of our managers vividly contrasts with that of the young man who married a tycoon's only child, a decidedly homely and dull lass. Relieved, the father called in his new son- in-law after the wedding and began to discuss the future:

We have only God's law, and the wisdom to follow it if we will. — Cormac McCarthy
