Father's Day Sayings

If you have a caring father, you are blessed. You may not agree with his method of parenting. But you must appreciate that he cared enough to work out a method. Send these Father's Day sayings to your father as a gesture of your appreciation and love.

• Sigmund Freud
  I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
  
  
• Kurt Avish
  Dad, how much I've grown tall does not matter because it's to you I'll always look up.

  My father was a statesman; I'm a political woman. My father was a saint. I'm not.

  Fathers, like mothers, are not born. Men grow into fathers and fathering is a very important stage in their development.

  I just owe almost everything to my father [and] it's passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
  
  
• Billy Graham
  A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.
  
  
• Queen Victoria of England
  None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of such a Father who has not his equal in this world - so great, so good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps and don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great deal.

• Bob Dylan
  Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
  And don't criticize what you can't understand
  Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
  Your old road is rapidly agin'.
  Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
  For the times they are a-changin'.
  
  
• Ben Stiller
  When we were visiting New York City, I took my kids to the same playground where I went growing up. It was fun to feel that connection of having gone there as a kid and being there as a parent.
  
  
• Denzel Washington
  Just stick with your kids. There's no set of rules on how to be a parent. No handbook. Just hang around your kids and ask them a lot of questions. You have to stay involved in your children's lives and monitor everything they're doing whether they like it or not. You're not in the job of making them like it. You're there to protect them in a world that can be troubling.
  
  
• Donald Trump

  When you have a child, your relationship with every child in the world changes. It's like you're in a club you didn't know existed before a child came into your life. I believe you should make the world more beautiful for all children in any way that you can.

  A new father quickly learns that his child invariably comes to the bathroom at precisely the times when he's in there, as if he needed company. The only way for this father to be certain of bathroom privacy is to shave at the gas station.
  
  
• Will Ferrell
  If you're flying with your children, it's best to book them on the same flight and not on one where they have more legroom and are leaving at a different time. They could get there earlier than you, and that causes resentment. Two-year-olds can also never figure out those connecting flights. It just makes it harder, so travel as a family.
