Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young, Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, And joined in thy innocent glee.
-Margaret Courtney
Any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a dad.
-Anne Geddes
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
-George Herbert
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.
-Queen Victoria of England
Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.
-Ruth E. Renkel
It's only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home—it's only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love.
-Margaret Truman
Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name.
-William Wordsworth
