He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. - Clarence Budington Kelland Dad, I may not be the best, but I come to believe that I got it in me to be somebody in this world. And it’s not because I’m so different from you either. It’s because I’m the same. I mean, I can be just as hard- headed, and just as tough. I only hope I can be as good a man as you. ~Jake Gyllenhaal There will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untamed inside us. One of those men is my father. ~Alison Lohman “My father always told me, ‘Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.’ ” — Jim Fox “Any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a dad.” — Anne Geddes “Life was a lot simpler when what we honored was father and mother rather than all major credit cards.” — Robert Orben Small boy’s definition of Father’s Day: It’s just like Mother’s Day only you don’t spend so much.” — Unknown By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong. ” -Charles Wadsworth I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection. – Sigmund Freud One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters. ~George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs , 1640 The greatest gift I ever had Came from God; I call him Dad! ~Author Unknown What Is A Dad? A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again. A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail… My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.- Jim Valvano “A true father is always there. He is there to spill tears of happiness when his eyes fall upon his infant daughter. He is there with arms to catch her when she takes her first steps or stumbles. He is there to teach her at the youngest age, even though she might not understand half of it. He is there to help her color inside the lines, make her grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, and tie her shoes. He is there to hug her and kiss her on her first days of school, and to walk her in if need be. He is there to teach her and tease her and laugh with her. He is always there to embarrass her, but that’s part of life. He is there to tell her to go ask her mother, when her mother told her to ask him. He is there to lecture her, prepare her for the monster called high school. He is there to put up with her teenage moods and her co-ed relationships. He is there to approve, disapprove, accept and forgive. He is there to give her a big bundle of flowers when she graduates, to smile when her name is called and feel proud. He is there to embrace her and kiss her before she goes to live and learn a thousand miles away. He is there to see her become a workingwoman, to walk her down the aisle (or not, if her independence and stubbornness prevail after all). He is there to watch her grow as the lines on his face grow. He is there to wel i love you pappa
