Fathers
Day Quotes

"None of you can ever be proud enough of being the child of
SUCH a Father who has not his equal in this world-so great, so
good, so faultless. Try, all of you, to follow in his footsteps
and don't be discouraged, for to be really in everything like
him none of you, I am sure, will ever be. Try, therefore, to be
like him in some points, and you will have acquired a great
deal." -- Victoria, Queen of England |

"I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work
fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed

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." -- Mario Cuomo |

Who loved thee so fondly as he?
