Best Father Quotes (page 2)

They never say to you, 'What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?' Instead, they demand 'How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much money does his father make?' Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all others, charity. Benjamin Franklin
For a moment, I wondered how different my life would have been had they been my parents, but I shook the thought away. I knew my father had done the best he could, and I had no regrets about the way I'd turned out. Regrets about the journey, maybe, but not the destination. Because however it had happened, I'd somehow ended up eating shrimp in a dingy downtown shack with a girl that I already knew I'd never forget. Nicholas Sparks
Our prime minister could embrace and forgive the people who killed our beloved sons and fathers, and so he should, but he could not, would not, apologise to the Aboriginal people for 200 years of murder and abuse. The battle against the Turks, he said in Gallipoli, was our history, our tradition. The war against the Aboriginals, he had already said at home, had happened long ago. The battle had made us; the war that won the continent was best forgotten Peter Carey
I told him the truth, that I loved him and didn't regret anything about our lives together. But do we ever 'tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God' as my father used to say, to those we love? Or even to ourselves? Don't even the best and most fortunate of lives hint at other possibilities, at a different kind of sweetness and, yes, bitterness too? Isn't this why we can't help feeling cheated, even when we know we haven't been? Richard Russo
So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thoughts it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies? Richard Dawkins
Lord Mountbatten quote: "It never entered my father's mind nor my mind ever to do a job..."
It never entered my father's mind nor my mind ever to do a job othe than at one's best ability. Lord Mountbatten
Joe Montana quote: "My mother and father, Joe and Theresa Montana brought me along..."
My mother and father, Joe and Theresa Montana brought me along and taught me to never quit, and to strive to be the best. Joe Montana
We should all aspire in life to do a multitude of things well - to be a great father, to be a good husband, to be a good lover, you know, to try to do things the best you can is very important to me. Matthew Modine
The best thing that I got was rehearsing with my father. It was always about the process of figuring things out, and trying something new, and having another take on something and keeping it alive. Jake Gyllenhaal
Sarah Ferguson quote: "He's by best friend and the father of my children. He's a..."

Kirk Douglas quote: "I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best..."
I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best friends were Italians. Kirk Douglas
At times I've got a really big ego. But I'll tell you the best thing about me. I'm some guy's dad; I'm some little gal's dad. When I die, if they say I was Annie's husband and Zachary John and Anna Kate's father, boy, that's enough for me to be remembered by. That's more than enough. John Denver
I used to have seizures when I was young. My mother and father didn't know what to do or how to handle it but they did the best they could with what little they had. Prince
Ann Curry quote: "My father used to say, 'Well, Ann, maybe the best thing you'll..."
My father used to say, 'Well, Ann, maybe the best thing you'll ever do, you haven't even thought of yet.' Ann Curry
