Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there. Here are a few quotes I found and liked!
"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a DADDY!"

"To be a successful father . . . there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years." -- Ernest Hemingway

"Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope." ~Bill Cosby

"Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name." ~William Wordsworth

"A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again." ~Enid Bagnold

"A father carries pictures where his money used to be." ~Author Unknown

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. " ~Mark Twain, "Old Times on the Mississippi" Atlantic Monthly, 1874

"Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes." ~Gloria Naylor

"There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself." ~John Gregory Brown, Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994

"Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected." ~Red Buttons

"Dad, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever." ~Author Unknown
