Alec King is a father almost anyone would like. Clive Pettibone is a bit sterner, but cares for his family, too. Matthew was a terrific "stand in" father.
"You can't get everyone to agree with you all the time about everything, so you might as well do what you think is right in the first place." Alec in "Felicity's Challenge"
"You don't have to be exactly sorry. Just sort of sorry" Matthew trying to get Anne to apologize to Mrs. Lynde in "Anne of Green Gables."
"Don't worry about other people, just don't let yourself down." Alec in "The Witch of Avonlea"
"That little girl deserves all the kindness we can give her. We got no call to raise her as cheerless as we were." Matthew to Marilla about letting Anne go to the Christmas Ball in "Anne of Green Gables."
"I never wanted a boy. I only wanted you from the first day. Don't ever change. I love my little girl. I'm so proud of my little girl." Matthew to Anne in "Anne of Green Gables." (I always cry at that part.)
