“It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.” — Barack Obama, former President of the United States
“Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, and singers of songs.” — Pam Brown, poet
“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
“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, professor
“His heritage to his children wasn’t words or possessions, but an unspoken treasure, the treasure of his example as a man and father.” — Will Rogers, Jr.
