"Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father. It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father." Barack Obama

"I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by the little scraps of wisdom." Umberto Eco

"It is not flesh and blood, but the heart which makes us fathers and sons." Johann Friedrich Von Schiller

“My Father ... He was there when I didn't understand, he was there when I was wrong, he was there when I cried, he was there when I lied. For some reason, my dad was always there when I needed him the most. His love was never-ending. And now that he's gone, there is an emptiness in my world but, not in my heart.“ - Michael Jordan

“Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow.” - Reed Markham, American educator 

"Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance." Ruth E. Renkel
