Quotable Sunday - The Fathers Day Edition

Toni, from A Daily Dose of Toni has this great weekly ritual of posting Favorite Quotes - people come up with some great quotes, so if you haven't had a chance to check out Quotable Sunday now's your chance! ;)

Since today as fathers day, my quotes are all about dads:

Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. ~Author Unknown

I love my father as the stars - he's a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart. ~Adabella Radici

Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes. ~Gloria Naylor

You will find that if you really try to be a father, your child will meet you halfway. ~Robert Brault

There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. ~John Gregory Brown, Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994

There are three stages of a man's life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn't believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus. ~Author Unknown


Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. ~Bill Cosby

I think that's a good one to stop on. Happy fathers day to all you dads.
