Fathers are strange creatures. They appear to be tough but they have tender hearts. They don’t flinch when they hurt themselves badly, but they worry themselves silly when their little one has a minor fall. They can weather all storms and bravely face any crisis just to see a smile on their kids’ faces. I sometimes find it tough to understand fathers. They have never known the pain of childbirth. Yet, they go through an emotional roller coaster since the birth of their child.

Here are my 10 favorite Father's Day quotes. These quotes make me think about the virtues of fathers. If you haven’t given much thought to all the sacrifices your father made for you, here is your chance to thank him. No, I don’t recommend that you walk up to him and shake his hand saying, “Thanks Dad, for all that you did.” Reach out to him with some beautiful expressions of love.

Why are these 10 Father's Day quotes in my list of favorites? To be honest, I am moved by these quotes. They make me think about the virtues of fathers. If you are looking for quotes that aptly describe fathers, here they are.
