"QUOTES"
The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart ..
A Father is not someone to lean on, but someone who makes leaning unnecessary.
To be in your child's memories tomorrow ... you have to be in their lives today.
Fathers learn a lot from children about coping with life.
You can learn many things from children ... how much patience you have, for instance.
SOME FATHERLY ADVICE AND WORDS OF WISDOM
(Do Any Of These Sound Familiar To You?)

"This will hurt me a lot more than it will hurt you."
"Don't give me any of your lip, young lady."
"As long as you live under my roof ...
you'll live by my rules."
"What's so funny? Wipe that smile off your face!"
"Eat it! It will grow hair on your chest."
"Stop crying or I'll give you a reason to cry!"
"You have it so easy ... when I was your age...
I had to walk to school in 10 feet of snow
up hill both ways."

My Father ~ When I Was Young
4 years old
"My daddy can do anything."
5 years old
"My daddy knows a whole lot."
6 years old
"My dad is smarter than your dad."
8 years old
"My dad doesn't know exactly everything."
10 years old
"In the olden days when my dad grew up,
things were sure different."
12 years old
"Oh well! Naturally, Dad doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood."
14 years old
"Don't pay any attention to my dad. He is so old-fashioned!"
21 years old
"Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out-of-date!"
25 years old
"Dad knows a little bit about it, but then he should because he's been around for so long."
30 years old
"Maybe we should ask dad what he thinks."
35 years old
"I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad."
40 years old
"I wonder how Dad would have handled it.
He was so wise and had a world of experience."
50 years old
"I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him."
~ Ann Landers ~
When I was a boy of 14, My father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have
The old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much The old man had learned in seven years.
