Quote by Margaret Truman

It's only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home - it's only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love.

It's only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave

Summary

This quote suggests that one truly recognizes and appreciates the greatness of another person, such as a father, only after they have matured and gained independence. When individuals grow older, distance themselves from their fathers, pursue their own paths, and establish their own lives, they begin to gain a deeper understanding of their father's love and accomplishments. Pride plays a crucial role in strengthening the love one feels towards their father, allowing them to acknowledge his greatness fully.
