QUOTES ABOUT FATHERS


"To her the name of father was another name for love."
~~By Fanny Fern.~~

"Fathers, like mothers, are not born.
Men grow into fathers-
and fathering is a very important stage
in their development."
~~By David M. Gottesman.~~

"It is a wise father that knows his own child."
~~By William Shakespeare (1564-1616)~~

"It doesn't matter who my father was;
it matters who I remember he was."
~~By Anne Sexton (1928-1974) U.S. poet.~~

"I cannot think of any need in childhood
as strong as the need for a father's protection."
~~By Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)~~

"A Man's children and his garden both reflect the
amount of weeding done during the growing season."
~~Author Unknown.~~

"The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God, and I call him Dad!"
~~Author Unknown


JOKES ABOUT DADS


The best way for dads to keep kids at home is to be pleasant and let the air out of their tires.

Dads are like fudge....mostly sweet, with a few nuts.

A dad is like a mighty oak that just yesterday was a nut that held its ground.

Middle age is when dad chooses his cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

Dad's mind not only wanders; sometimes it leaves completely.

If dad can remain calm, he just doesn't have all the facts.


Son: Dad, I just got a part in the school play of a man who's been married 20 years.
Dad: That's great, son. One day you'll get a speaking part.


Joe just got his drivers license. He was going to take his family for a ride. Dad climbed into the back seat.
Joe: Guess you want a change of scenery after years of sitting in the front seat.
Dad: Nope. I just wanted to sit here and kick the back of the seat the way you've been doing all these years.


Dad: Have you had your homework marked yet?
Son: Yes, but I'm afraid that you didn't do very well!





It's been forever. I was a child. It's time to let go... My dad would want me to remember him, but not mourn... and start living...

I saw the most beautiful butterfly today. It was black and white and had a turquoise on it's wings. I got a pic as soon as my sis sends it to me. I hope it does it justice so I can share

Nice post. I liked Anne Sexton's quote particularly. Memory is our abiding reality.
