Hooray for Dad!

They guide, they protect, they encourage and they inspire. Dads are such an important part of our lives, and here we celebrate just what makes a man more than a father, it’s what makes him a dad!

“A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.” Unknown

“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 the little scraps of wisdom.” Umberto Eco

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: He believed in me.” Jim Valvano

“It’s only when you grow up and step back from him—or leave him for your own home—it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it.” Margaret Truman

“The quality of a father can be seen in the goals, dreams and aspirations he sets not only for himself, but for his family.” Reed Markham

“My father didn’t tell me how to live. He lived and let me watch him do it.” Clarence Budington Kelland

“Lately all my friends are worried they’re turning into their fathers. I’m worried I’m not.” Dan Zevin

“Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, and singers of song.” Pam Brown
