About This Quote

“Son, there are times a man has to do things he doesn’t like to, in order to protect his family.” This is an example of one of dad’s famous catch phrases, “you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men.” His beloved son is asking him if he can help his sister get out of a bad situation. A great father would be ready with the answer that would make his son feel good. Instead, he delivers the line that is meant to make his son feel bad. The statement implies that whenever something happens that someone doesn't like, they should just put up with it for the sake of their family unit.
