It's not a particularly obscure quotation. It means that if you are a father and you know your own child (which could mean to recognize him or her, or understand him or her) then you are wise. It's said by the clown Gobbo in The Merchant of Venice.

If father name is already on birth certificate does paternity test still need to be performed?
There is an old common law saying, "A wise child knows his father." We always know who the Mother of a child is, but a name on the birth certificate only means that man is now legally responsible for the child's support, whether he actually fathered the child or not. There is also a presumption, if a man is married to a woman, he is the father of any child from the marriage. So if you are unsure about who actually fathered the child, a paternity test needs to be performed. But just because the man named on the birth certificate may not have actually fathered the child, most courts will make him still legally responsible for the child's support.
