I am a parent and do not have the luxury of principles.

Father (who doesn't like his state going to war): I am a parent and do not have the luxury of principles.

Son (who is enlisting in the army): Father, I thought you were a man of principles.

Father: When you have a family of your own perhaps you will understand.

Son: When I have a family of my own I won't hide behind them.
