It’s father’s day today. And here are a set of father’s day qoutes that I really like.
“A father is a guy who has snapshots in his wallet where his money used to be.” – Unknown
“My father always told me, ‘Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.’ ” — Jim Fox
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass.” “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys.” ~Harmon Killebrew
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! ~Lydia M. Child, Philothea: A Romance, 1836
It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons. ~Johann Schiller
The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!
~Author Unknown
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection ~ Sigmund Freud
He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. Clarence Budington Kelland
A man’s desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world. Helen Rowland
Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later… that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called ‘Being a Father’ so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life. Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities
Margaret Courtney
Be kind to thy father, for when thou were young, who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, and joined in thy innocent glee.
Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eyes
All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye.
Kent Nerburn
Until you have a son of your own… you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. And you will never know the heartbreak of the fathers who are haunted by the personal demons that keep them from being the men they want their sons to be.
William Shakespeare
It is a wise father that knows his own child.
Ruth E. Renkel
Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.
Charles Wadsworth
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.
“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.”
– Theodore Hesburgh
“A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.”
– Billy Graham
“How true Daddy’s words were when he said: ‘All children must look after their own upbringing.’ Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.”
– Anne Frank

One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.

thanks for your share
Shakespeare’s is the best: “It is a wise father that knows his own child.” That’s pretty simple, straightforward!

Great quotes. These definitely remind us how important fathers are and how they should be shown some appreciation on Father’s Day and throughout the year.

I used to think Father’s Day was just another Hallmark excuse to sell cards. But then my father died just a few months before my son was born. The switch was very noticeable and it caused me to reflect on what it’s all about to be a dad, and how I can be a better one in the future. Father’s Day is not about being on the receiving end of lavish treatment, but an opportunity to reflect on his parenting skills.
its really great article, i learn much by reading it, thanks for share it

I am 14 years old and I wanted to get something special for my dad for fathers day. I was going to give him a card but I think he deserves more. He does so much for me. So I have earned $110 dollars and I want to spend it on him. He is a lawyer and works hard a lot and is always on his computer well sometimes. But I really want to get him something special. He likes beer and cigars and always wears polos! Any suggestions?
ilike this saying “
Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eyes
All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye.”
when I read this article I felt I must visit my father. He and mom grew up me but life seperate us. I think we should see our father every minutes. we love them. Happy father’s day for all of us.
During the Father’s day, we made something special for our Dad. We surprise him with a small Tarpaulin with one quote from Margaret Courtney and some photos of him and our family. It’s nice to be together and surprise him with that.
These are good words and I love my DAD too much
I liked this one:
“Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance”
Money will no solve everything. I believe that the family education and good manners are the best thing a father can give to his children. Those are the things that will determinate how good the children will be.
belated happy fathers day to the fathers out there

Same goes for me, I liked Shakespeare’s one the most. Notice that it is even the shortest from your list?
I suggest getting him a polo…at least it’s something that can last..
I miss my father after reading all the quotes. He’s far away from us and I miss our happy moments.

I got nothing from my daughter on Fathers Day. So selfish. You bring them into the world and look after them and feed them….mind you she was only 3 weeks old!

I really like this one. “I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection” by Sigmund Freud. It is actually a natural reflection of a father as a protector of the family. We all know that our Father is the strength of the family. Thanks for sharing and finding time to research for those father related quotes. We appreciate it.
Thanks for this post.. It makes me remember my dad. I miss him so much. This quote is my favorite:“A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.”
– Billy Graham.. Thanks again..
When I was young I was a daddy’s girl but when I grew up and our family grow also I have hated him. That I came to the point that I wished he was not my father, but now I am afraid to lose my father because I understand how difficult it is to be a father. They should be love and respected as long as they are alive.
actually, the best quote is that you say to your father from the bottom of your heart.
