Fathers Day Quotes

When you take a look at all the pages on the internet to search for  great fathers day quotes, it seems a little difficult to find the really positive quotes and sayings about fathers.

There are of course a lot of reasons for that.

One of them is that the role of the father has always been more distant. He had to take care of the family income, bringing the food home to the family and providing a secure shelter. 
That was the way he showed his love to his children, according to the more or less unspoken rules of society, almost up to today.

When I look around I am so happy to see that this pattern in the family has changed a lot, and the fathers of today are much more affectionate and caring, taking a much bigger part in their children's lives.

How his role has been, and I guess will still be in a lot of families is very well described in this quote:

Listen, there is no way any true man is going to let children live around him in his home and not discipline and teach, fight and mold them until they know all he knows. His goal is to make them better than he is. Being their friend is a distant second to this.” - Victor Devlin

Whereas the newer aspect of the father's role, or the way it would be great if it was, is seen from this quote:

Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating...too often fathers neglect it because they get so caught up in making a living they forget to make a life.” - John Wooden
