The friendship of a father for his child is of the same kind
（only here the benefits bestowed are greater, for the father is the source of the
child's existence, which seems to be the greatest of all boons, and of its nurture and
education; and we also ascribe the same benefits to our forefathers）. For it is
as natural for a father to rule his children, and forefathers those descended from them,
as for a king to rule his subjects.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
