Fathers Day Quote by: John Mayor
“Father I will always be
that same boy who stood by the sea
and watched you tower over me
now I’m older I wanna be the same as you”
Fathers Day Quote by: Yellowcard
A father is someone that
holds your hand at the fair
makes sure you do what your mother says
holds back your hair when you are sick
brushes that hair when it is tangled because mother is too busy
lets you eat ice cream for breakfast
but only when mother is away
he walks you down the aisle
and tells you everythings gonna be ok
Fathers Day Quote by: Unknown

Fathers Day Quote by: Clarence Budington Kelland

boys.” Fathers Day Quote by: Harmon Killebrew

Fathers Day Quote by: George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs, 1640
Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
Fathers Day Quote by: Bill Cosby
Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it.
Fathers Day Quote by: Clarence Budington Kelland
A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.

Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes.
Fathers Day Quote by: Gloria Naylor
It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn’t.

Are we not like two volumes of one book?
Fathers Day Quote by: Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

Fathers Day Quote by: Red Buttons
I don’t care how poor a man is; if he has family, he’s rich.
Fathers Day Quote by: M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
Fathers Day Quote by: Dinah Craik
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher’s mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again.
Fathers Day Quote by: Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a baby, 1968
He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Fathers Day Quote by: Clarence Budington Kelland
A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.

As fathers commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless; and considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune to be childless.
Fathers Day Quote by: Lord Chesterfield
Don’t make a baby if you can’t be a father.
Fathers Day Quote by: National Urban League Slogan
Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.
Fathers Day Quote by: Aldous Huxley
A man’s desire for a son is usually nothing but the wish to duplicate himself in order that such a remarkable pattern may not be lost to the world.
Fathers Day Quote by: Helen Rowland
The worst misfortune that can happen to an ordinary man is to have an extraordinary father.
Fathers Day Quote by: Austin O’Malley
The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.
Fathers Day Quote by: Confucius
He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father’s wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father’s care.
Fathers Day Quote by: William Penn
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.
Fathers Day Quote by: Charles Wadworth

Fathers Day Quote by: Unknown
Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later…

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.
Fathers Day Quote by: Imelda Marcos
You fathers will understand. You have a little girl. She looks up to you. You’re her oracle. You’re her hero. And then the day comes when she gets her first permanent wave and goes to her first real party, and from that day on, you’re in a constant state of panic.
Fathers Day Quote by: Stanley T. Banks in the movie ‘Father of the Bride’
There must always be a struggle between a father and son, while one aims at power and the other at independence.
Fathers Day Quote by: Samuel Johnson
My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had ended his earthly life. You can never sympathize with me; you can never know how much of me such a young child can take away. A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.
Fathers Day Quote by: Ralph Waldo Emerson, on the death of his son
A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child.
Fathers Day Quote by: Knights of Pythagoras
—————————————————————-
“When a child is born, a father is born. A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it’s a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what’s happening. She becomes what’s happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time.
Fathers Day Quote by: Frederick Buechner, ‘Whistling in the Dark’
I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.
Fathers Day Quote by: Mario Cuomo
My father was a statesman, I’m a political woman.
My father was a saint. I’m not.
Fathers Day Quote by: Indira Gandhi
My father was frightened of his mother. I was frightened of my father and I am damned well going to see to it that my children are frightened of me.
Fathers Day Quote by: King George V

Fathers Day Quote by: Unknown
My father always used to say that when you die, if you’ve got five real friends, then you’ve had a great life.
Fathers Day Quote by: Lee Iacocca
It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.
Fathers Day Quote by: Pope John XXIII
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass.” “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys.”
Fathers Day Quote by: Harmon Killebrew
Father, whom I murdered every night but one,
That one, when your death murdered me.
Fathers Day Quote by: Howard Moss, Elegy for My Father (l. 1-2)
Noble fathers have noble children.
Fathers Day Quote by: Euripides
Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children.
Fathers Day Quote by: Richard Henry Dana
One night a father overheard his son pray: Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is. Later that night, the Father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.
Fathers Day Quote by: Unknown
If a son is uneducated, his dad is to blame.
Fathers Day Quote by: Chinese Proverb
When I was a kid, my father told me every day, ‘You’re the most wonderful boy in the world, and you can do anything you want to.’
Fathers Day Quote by: Jan Hutchins
I talk and talk and talk, and I haven’t taught people in 50 years what my father taught by example in one week.
Fathers Day Quote by: Mario Cuomo
My father died many years ago, and yet when something special happens to me, I talk to him secretly not really knowing whether he hears, but it makes me feel better to half believe it.
Fathers Day Quote by: Josefowitz
“Train up a child in the way which he should go

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk off to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, “Excuse me. Where are we?â€
“This is Heaven, sir,†the man answered.
“Of course, sir. Come right in, and I’ll have some ice water brought right up.†The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
“Can my best friend,†gesturing toward his dog, “come in, too?†the traveler asked.
“I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept pets.â€
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
“Excuse me!†he called to the man. “Do you have any water?â€
“Yeah, sure, there’s a pump over there, come on in.â€
“How about my best friend here?†the traveler gestured to the dog.
“There should be a bowl by the pump.â€
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
“Well, that’s confusing,†the traveler said. “The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.â€
“Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates. Nope. That’s hell.â€
“Doesn’t it make you mad for them to use your name like that?â€
“No, we’re just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.â€
Sometimes, we wonder why best friends keep sending funny email forwards to us without writing a word.
When you are very busy or don’t have much to say, but still want to keep in touch with your best friend, guess what you do, you forward funny emails.
Soccer fans can toast their favourite teams as early as 10 a.m. during the World Cup, under relaxed bar hours approved Wednesday by Toronto City Council.
“People were allowed to drink from 11 in the morning until 2 the following morning, and now they’ll be allowed to drink from 10 in the morning until 2 the following morning,†said Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone.
Council voted overwhelmingly for the extra hour of drinking time, from June 11 to July 11.
“It’s appreciated by people who enjoy a good game with a glass of beer in the hot days of July and August,†Pantalone said. “It’s extremely significant to enjoying the beautiful game and giving an economic shot in the arm to small entrepreneurs, which is what restaurant and bar owners are.â€
Maxine is ready!
Is this just for fans??
