Today we are celebrating Father's Day. Here are some quotes for you to think about on this day.
"Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad".
Clarence B. Kelland's coach regarding fatherhood, "my father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it".
Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice".
Theodore Hesburgh wrote "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother".
William Shakespeare on fathers "it is a wise father who knows his own child".
William Busch wrote this about fatherhood " becoming a father is easy enough, but being one can be very rough".
Sigmund Freud wrote "I cannot think of any need and childhood as strong as that need for a father's protection".
Charles Wadsworth "by the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he is wrong".
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".
Harmon Killebrew wrote about fatherhood "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'".
Paul Lewis's quote on fatherhood "a father's words are like a thermostat that sets the temperature in the house".
Happy Father's Day!
