My father always told me that all businessmen were sons of bitches, but I never believed it till now.

Good wombs have borne bad sons.

Croesus said to Cambyses; That peace was better than war; because in peace the sons did bury their fathers, but in wars the fathers did bury their sons

To hell with them. When history is written they will be the sons of bitches - not I.

Just that sons and fathers
Are like mirrors and daughters are soft

Mothers are inscrutable beings to their sons, always. ("The Higgler")
