Abraham Lincoln

No man stands taller than when he stoops to help a child.

 

Barack Obama

I’m inspired by the love people have for their children. And I’m inspired by my own children, how full they make my heart. They make me want to work to make the world a little bit better. And they make me want to be a better man.

 

Daisy Donovan

My dad always said, 'Don't worry what people think, because you can't change it.'

 

Daniel Bryan     

I would define the new aspects of fatherhood like this: It is 75% amazing and 25% demoralising. I think any new parent can understand exactly what I’m talking about.

 

Dwayne Wade  

When I say we're learning from our 12-year-old, we're literally learning from our child. So the biggest thing is have an open mind. Go out and research, ask your child, ask other people questions about this, because this conversation is real.

 

David Duchovny

One of the scary things is that, when you're a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you're an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too.

 

David Mitchell

I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.

 

Dinah Shore

The best money advice ever given me was from my father. When I was a little girl, he told me, 'Don't spend anything unless you have to.'

 

Dolly Parton

I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

Their lifelong love of learning, their remarkable wide-ranging intellectual curiosity, was fostered primarily by their father. He read aloud to them at night, eliciting their responses to works of history and literature. He organized amateur plays for them, encourage pursuit of special interests, prompted them to write essays on their readings, and urge them to recite poetry.

 

Dr. Tony Beizaee

Fatherhood is the wisdom to inspire that nothing is impossible to fulfill your children’s dream.

 

Eleesha

May my children follow their own intuition to discover true empowerment - in the answers they seek.

 

In expression of Fatherhood I evolve to become - all I was destined, to be.

Frank Pittman

Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man.

 

Harry Truman   

I have found the very best way to advise your children is to find out what they want to do and advise them to do it.

 

Jennie Finch

And my dad drilled it in my head, you know, 'If you want it bad enough, and you're willing to make the sacrifices, you can do it. But first you have to believe in yourself.

 

Joe Biden

My dad always said, 'Champ, the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down, but how quickly he gets up.'

 

​Why not share this as a heartwarming gift?

John Green       

The nature of impending fatherhood is that you are doing something that you’re unqualified to do, and then you become qualified while doing it.

 

Josh Charles

My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you're a lucky man.'

 

Kevin Hart

What I’ve learned as a father is that the most important thing in the world is listening. It’s not about trying to be right.

Luke Bryan

From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.

 

Michael Chiklis

The most challenging part of being a dad is self-restraint. So often your instinct is to teach and tell. I am constantly reminding myself to listen to them.

 

Nadia Scrieva

It is very easy to be a military strategist, a mercenary, or a king, but much harder to be a father.

 

Nicolas Cage

Having been a father for 19 years I realise fatherhood has changed me.

 

Pete Wentz

With marriage and fatherhood, I've finally found two fixed points in my life. They've taught me patience. They've also taught me that I don't need to feel guilty about being happy. My emotional seasons are less extreme.

 

Phil Crane

As my dad said, you have an obligation to leave the world better than how you found it. And he also reminded us to be givers in this life, and not takers.

 

Phil McGraw

My dad used to say, 'You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.’

 

Pink

My dad raised me with some good advice: 'Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you'll never have enemies, because people will always know where you're coming from.'

 

 

Ralph Moody

Son, there are times a man has to do things he doesn't like to, in order to protect his family.

You know, Son, sometimes a fellow has to take a licking for doing the right thing. A licking only lasts a short while, even if it's a hard one, but failing to do the right thing will often make a mark on a man that will last forever.

You know, a man's life is a lot like a boat. If he keeps his sail set right it doesn't make too much difference which way the wind blows or which way the current flows. If he knows where he wants to go and keeps his sail trimmed carefully he'll come into the right port. But if he forgets to watch his sail till the current catches him broadside he's pretty apt to smash up on the rocks.

Rashida Jones

My dad always tell me to make decisions from love and not from fear.

 

Rick Riordan

A father should do more - a father should give more to his children than he takes.

 

Ryan Reynolds 

I don't have to prepare to be wrapped around my daughter's finger. I have been wrapped around her little finger since the day she plopped out into this world.

 

Sigmund Freud 

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.

 

Sope Agbelusi

When my kids tell me "I can't do this dad", I smile and say it's okay. We sit down and we talk about it, I share some of my experiences with them and also let them know it's okay to fail but it is not okay to give before you have tried. One of the primary roles of a parent is to lend your kids some of your confidence enabling them to get their own.

 

Tim Allen

Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy, they're fun, they do things together, they're best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom, they're going to respect Mom.

 

Tim Russert      

The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get.

 

Tim Wolfe

[Man adopts] 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 Hanks       

I will do anything I can possibly do in order to keep you safe. That’s it. Offer that up and then just love them.

 

Umberto Eco    

I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.

 

 

William Shakespeare

It is a wise father that knows his own child.
