"What you teach your children, you also teach their children."
"A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow."
Even if you grow up to be taller or stronger than your dad, youâll always look up to his moral character and the love he had for you.
"I only hope when I have my own family that every day I see a little more of my father in me."
This is a quote from country music star, Keith Urban. A message like this tells dad that you learned his lessons and aspire to treat your children the same way he treated you.
"When my father didnât have my hand, he had my back."
This quote from Linda Poindexter speaks to the important role a father has in a childâs life. In the beginning, dad stands next to you and guides you until he finally lets you go forward on your own two feet. But, dad is always there to support you.
"A father is the one friend upon whom we can always rely."

"Lately, all my friends are worried theyâre turning into their fathers. Iâm worried Iâm not."
Children look to their fathers as a source of inspiration and someone they aspire to emulate. This quote from Dan Zevin captures that beautifully.
"Some people donât believe in heroes, but they havenât met my dad."
"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: he believed in me."
Former basketball coach Jim Valvano is credited with this quote. Fatherâs might get mad or disappointed but they never stop believing in their childâs abilities.
"To the world, you are a dad. To your family, you are the world."
Finally, this. Fatherâs are indeed very important people!
