Some Favorite Quotes about Fathers

"Any man can be a father.

It takes someone special to be a dad."

~Anonymous

"Fatherhood is pretending the present

you love most is soap on a rope."

"It is much easier to become a father

than to be one"

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant,

I could hardly stand to have the old man around,

but when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much

the old man learned in seven years."

~Mark Twain

“By profession, I am a soldier and take pride in that fact,

but I am prouder--infanitely prouder--to be a father. . .

it is my hope that my son, when I am gone,

will remember me not from the battle but

in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer. . ."

~Douglas McArthur

"It should have great meaning that of all the titles

of respect and honor and admiration that

could be given him, God himself, he who is the

highest of all, chose to be addressed simply as Father."

~Boyd K. Packer

Finally, I love this quote by D. Todd Christofferson that was in the mormon message video, "Let Us Be Men"

"Though he will make some sacrifices and deny himself

some pleasures in the course of honoring his commitments,

a true man leads a rewarding life. He gives much

but receives more and lives content in the approval of his

Heavenly Father. The life of true manhood is the good life."

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
