Maybe you need a light quote to send your dad something new this father’s day or one on a more moving note. I can see my dad in several of these, especially his strength and his calm demeanor to this day.
Over course there are a couple that remind me of his quirky sense of humor even in rough times.
Share the ones that hold special meaning to you and your father.
1. Vincent Carrella
“A father is only capable of giving what he has, and what he knows. A good father gives all of himself that is good.”
2. 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.”
3. Mark Twain
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant, I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
4. Dave Attel
“When you’re young, you think your dad is Superman. Then you grow up, and you realize he’s just a regular guy who wears a cape.”
5. Barbara samuel
“But maybe that’s how the world changes, Isaiah. One father, one child, at a time.”
6. Ben Orki
“One of the greatest gifts my father gave me – unintentionally – was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.”
7. Ama H. Vanniarachchy
“A father’s tears and fears are unseen, his love is unexpressed, but his care and protection remains as a pillar of strength throughout our lives.”
8. Dan Pearce
“Dads. Do your faces light up when you first see your child in the morning or when you come home from work? Do you not understand that a child’s entire sense of value can revolve around what they see in your face when you first see them?”
9. William Shakespeare
“When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.”
