How easy is it to be father to your children? It’s probably a lot of work. Now you have to do a lot more work when you are raising a daughter. She’s adventurous, inquisitive, emotional and likely to try running away with some boy from school. Girls could sometimes be a handful but they are also lovely.

Playing daddy all the time can be a tiresome task. Dads sometimes feel ignored, unappreciated, and even unwanted in their own family. When that happens, it is time for some words of inspiration. Inspirational dad quotes will pep up any sagging spirit.
"I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it."
"Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!"
"It is much easier to become a father than to be one."
"Noble fathers have noble children."
"Better to be driven out from among men than to be disliked of children."
"By profession, I am a soldier and take pride in that fact. But I am prouder — infinitely prouder — to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build; the father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentiality of death; the other embodies creation and life. And while the hordes of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son, when I am gone, will remember me not from the battlefield but in the home repeating with him our simple daily prayer, 'Our Father who art in Heaven.'"
"One night a father overheard his son pray 'Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is.' Later that night, the Father prayed 'Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be.'"
"In peace, the sons bury their fathers, but in war, the fathers bury their sons."
"When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, my mind a top whipped by the lashes of your rhetoric, windy of course."
"If a son is uneducated, his dad is to blame."
"When I was a kid, my father told me every day, 'You're the most wonderful boy in the world, and you can do anything you want to.'"
