My goal is for Gunnar to outlive me. That's the way it should be. My dream is for him to be a dad himself one day, so he can find out all the anxiety that kids bring to their dads.

Brick Stone

New dads aren’t aware that infants are both blessings and black holes that drain sleep, time, and passion.

Charles Kettering

Every father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice.

Charles Wadworth

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.

Chris Martin

Men should always change diapers. It’s mentally cleansing. It’s like washing dishes, but imagine if the dishes were your kids, so you really love the dishes.

Clayton Lessor

When a boy feels as if no one cares about him, or as if he will never amount to anything, he truly believes it doesn’t matter what he does.

Daniel Baldwin

My little son, Atticus, desperately needs his dad and I haven't been there for him... and that's sad.

Donald Miller

I know, from the three visits I made to him, the blended composite of love and fear that exists only in a boy's notion of his father.

Emily Mortimer

My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.

Enid Bagnold

A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman, he turns her back again.

Fathima Arshard

I know a man whose arms carried me high on days that I felt low. A man whose arms I’ll never outgrow.

Ian Morgan Cron

A boy needs a father to show him how to be in the world. He needs to be given swagger, taught how to read a map so that he can recognize the roads that lead to life and the paths that lead to death, how to know what love requires, and where to find steel in the heart when life makes demands on us that are greater than we think we can endure.

Isaac Mogilevsky

Fathers have a way of either distorting the character of God or rightly representing it to their son.

James A. Baldwin

If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.

Why not share this as a heartwarming gift?

James Caan

I never saw my dad cry. My son saw me cry. My dad never told me he loved me, and consequently I told Scott I loved him every other minute. The point is, I'll make less mistakes than my dad, my sons hopefully will make less mistakes than me, and their sons will make less mistakes than their dads.

Jamie Redknapp

I know I'm 25 now, but there's still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him.

Janvier Chouteu-Chando

Nothing crushes the soul of a father more than the loss of the beloved son he failed to lavish his love on.

Jason Versey

Our sons not only receive a name but a legacy. With keen eyes they watch and learn. At their core, they are shaped by the very things we say and don’t say; and by what we do and don’t do. They may cling to what is noble, they may emulate our flaws or reject them all together but a legacy will be formed nonetheless. It’s a huge undertaking but one I know the Lord will see me through.

John Steinbeck

Why do men like me want sons?" he wondered. "It must be because they hope in their poor beaten souls that these new men, who are their blood, will do the things they were not strong enough nor wise enough nor brave enough to do. It is rather like another chance at life; like a new bag of coins at a table of luck after your fortune is gone.

Kevin Alan Milne

...it was never the sun overhead that brightened my days. It was the son playing on my lap.

Matthew Buckley

Being a father means you have to think fast on your feet. You must be judicious, wise, brave, tender, and willing to put on a frilly hat and sit down to a pretend tea party.

Mekael Shane

Sons are born to make their fathers better men.

Michael Ratnadeepak

No one in this world can love a girl more than her father.

Nick Harkaway

I can show him how to be the right kind of stupid.

Randy Alcorn

It's my responsibility to cultivate the man in my son. I can't be passive about that.

Father to teenage son: "My relationship with you is more important than anything I've got to say to you.”

Ray Romano

Having children is like living in a frat house. Nobody sleeps, everything’s broken, and there’s a lot of throwing up.

Reed Markham

Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow.

Richard Ford

He needed me to do what sons do for their fathers: bear witness that they’re substantial, that they’re not hollow, not ringing absences. That they count for something when little else seems to.

Rob Kozak

I am a proud father in the accomplishments of my son, who fills my heart with joy and my mind with favourable wonderings. He enhances my purpose on this wondrous planet. Parents, be aware that not only are you a model for your children, but in some fashions they are models for you— taking life easy, with a spirit of adventure. Encourage your kids to be kids!

When you teach your son, you teach your son’s son.

You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.
