Overview

For Father’s Day, for a new dad, or for no reason at all, this handsome book makes the perfect gift for the most important man in your life. Dad!

Here is a collection of more than 270 memorable quotations about the relationships between fathers and their sons and daughters—some wise, some thoughtful, and some downright hilarious. The musings, advice, and observations inside are drawn from famous writers, politicians, actors, comedians, athletes, businessmen, and philosophers.:

“Great writers of all stripes, psychologists, eminent soldiers and statesmen, comedians, and a span of others have commented on the multi-faceted aspects of a father’s relationship to his son or daughter, or to his or her feelings, and words have been at times wise, at times hilarious, sometimes abrupt or raw, sometimes practical, and sometimes penetrating”

Douglas MacArthur

Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
