Best Father's Day Quotes
Father's Day is June 15, 2008

Father’s Day is quickly approaching!

Don’t forget to do something special for your dad on June 15th. Instead of the standard tie or socks, try giving dad an IPod or mp3 player. Then grill him some great ribs, sweet potato fries and a nice cold beer. In the meantime, make a nice refreshing lime drink for you and enjoy the day.

Here are some quotes for dear old dad:

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection. ~~ Sigmund Freud

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

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

It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was. ~~ Anne Sexton

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. ~~ Henry Ward Beecher

I have always had the feeling I could do anything and my dad told me I could. I was in college before I found out he might be wrong ~~ Ann Richards

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong. ~~ Charles Wadsworth
