Victoria’s Read

“The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men. A girl has to keep it in mind: They are dragon seekers, bent on improbable rescues. Scratch any father, you find someone chock full of qualms and romantic terrors, believing change is a threat like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle it took such months to get.”
 ~Phyllis McGinley

“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.”
~Queen Victoria of England

“Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.”
~Ruth E. Renkel

A father is always making his baby into a little woman and when she is a woman he turns her back again.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.  ~Elizabeth Stone

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
~ Lydia M. Child

A father is a man who expects his children to be as good as he meant to be.

To her the name of father was another name for love.

How true Daddy’s words were when he said: “All children must look after their own upbringing.” Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.
~ Anne Frank

It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
~Anne Sexton

A father carries pictures where his money used to be.
~Author Unknown

It’s only when you grow up and step back from him or leave him for your own career and your own home. It’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. “Pride reinforces love.”
~Margaret Truman
