Every father should remember one day his son will follow his example, not his advice.



My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.



My father didn’t tell me how to live. He lived and let me watch him do it.



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.



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



He adopted a role called being a father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a protector.



Anyone who tells you fatherhood is the greatest thing that can happen to you, they are understating it.
