Father Quotes

One inch at a time, that was how her father had taught her. You can’t do anything but worry about the few inches right in front of you Picture Quote #1

One afternoon, when I was four years old, my father came home, and he found me in the living room in front of a roaring fire, which made him very angry. Because we didn’t have a fireplace Picture Quote #1

I want your innocence. I want your blind, unquestioning devotion to your father, your acceptance of who and what he is. I want you to look at me the way you look at him, knowing the worst. I want you to trust me, even when your brain tells you you shouldn’t, I want you to ignore common sense and your lifelong need to protect yourself. I want you to give yourself to me, body and soul Picture Quote #1

I saw my father as a man, and not, as a man who was my father Picture Quote #1

The sudden silence is horrifying, and it seems to catch my mother off guard. A tiny whimper escapes her, the sound amplified in the stillness. Surely, my father hears her now; surely he and I can’t go on pretending she isn’t crying Picture Quote #1

Unlike my mother, my father does not cry quietly. His wails roll out like a wave of pain, and I scramble to roll up my window. My mother cannot hear that. I cannot bear to hear it myself. I am not used to my father’s crying. I’ve had no time to harden my heart against him Picture Quote #1

She wasn’t tracking down her father to learn more about him. She was tracking him down to learn more about herself Picture Quote #1

Wow it was sad the break up thing in xmas but in the end they got back together but the father soo hush to the children Picture Quote #1

I honor the father in his son, not the son in his father. Each one receives a reward or punishment for his deeds, but not for the acts of others Picture Quote #1

I do not wish to be a coward like the father of mankind and throw the blame upon a woman Picture Quote #1

My father told me once that the most important thing every man should know is what he would die for Picture Quote #1

Sometimes kindness can be delivered in a clumsy way. But it’s far more sincere in its clumsiness than those distinguished men you read about in books. Your father was very clumsy Picture Quote #1

Her father said she was a princess. He did not see that she was a brave knight Picture Quote #1

I had nothing to fear from my father. Except his disappointment. Which was no small thing Picture Quote #1

My father used to say that stories are part of the most precious heritage of mankind Picture Quote #1

... as your father, my instinct is to protect you... Other people will want to protect you too. But remember that you are not a damsel in distress, waiting for some prince to rescue you. Forget the prince. With your brain and your resourcefulness, you can rescue yourself Picture Quote #1

Stories are people. I’m a story, you’re a story... your father is a story. Our stories go in every direction, but sometimes, if we’re lucky, our stories join into one, and for awhile, we’re less alone Picture Quote #1

So your father told you once that you were his princess you won’t see the castle you cannot find your prince and now you’ve grown a lot and your dress don’t fit right your daddy’s not a hero he stole your chariot so here you are in pieces trying to prove to us it’s real the softness of your smile and the lies you want to feel the scales beneath your skin are showing off today there’s evil in your heart and it wants out to play there’s evil in your heart and it wants out to play there’s evil in your heart and I have made a home here for me you’ll burn it down with your fantasy Picture Quote #1

It was like we were exchanging codes, on how to be a father and a daughter, like we’d read about it in a manual, translated from another language, and were doing our best with what we could understand Picture Quote #1

A father knows his child’s heart, as only a child can know his fathers Picture Quote #1

What kind of wife would I be if I left your father simply because he was dead? Picture Quote #1

For their entire lives, even before they met you, your mother and father held their love for you inside their hearts like an acorn holds an oak tree Picture Quote #1

My father thought I would lead a simple life; that I was bright but unambitious, complacant with whatever work life threw at me. My father, as usual, was wrong Picture Quote #1

She told me her father taught her to live life way beyond the cusp of it, way out in the outer reaches where most people never had the guts to go, where you got hurt. Where there was unimaginable beauty and pain... They were always reminding themselves to stop measuring life in coffee spoons, mornings and afternoons, to keep swimming way, way down to the bottom of the ocean to find where the mermaids sang, each to each. Where there was danger and beauty and light. Only the now Picture Quote #1

Whether it was making my bed or making a movie, my mother and father never hesitated to say how proud they were of me, and that means so very much to a child Picture Quote #1

By the time a man realizes that his father was right, he has a son who thinks he’s wrong Picture Quote #1

I would like to thank my father who discouraged me from playing the violin at an early age Picture Quote #1

Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth. Peace is all of these and more and more Picture Quote #1

I have not been able to find a single useful institution which has not been founded either by an intensely religious man or by the son of a praying father or a praying mother. I have made the statement before the chambers of commerce of all the largest cities of the country and have asked them to bring forward a case that is an exception to this rule. Thus far, I have not heard of a single one Picture Quote #1

Not every successful man is a good father. But every good father is a successful man Picture Quote #1
