He who can be a good son will be a good father.
Giving your son a skill is better than giving him one thousand pieces of gold.
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.
Don't wait to make your son a great man - make him a great boy.
You are a son to me, that to my father I couldn't be. I love you.
My father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.
It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and cet us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to celebrate.
Small boys become big men through the influence of big men who care about small boys.
A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.
Dad, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever.
The imprint of the father, remains forever on the life of the child.
A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow.
Son, you outgrew my lap, but never my heart.
I will always need my son, no matter what age I am. My son has made me laugh, made me proud, made me cry, seen me cry, hugged me tight, seen me fail, cheered me up, kept me on my toes, and at times driven me crazy, But my son is a promise that I will have a friend forever!
It's because I'm the same. I mean, I can be just as hard-headed, and just as tough. I only hope I can be as good a man as you.
Not every father gets a chance to start his son off in his own footsteps.
No matter how old you become, I'll always hold your hand tenderly. just like how I held it on the day that you were born. I love you, son.
