138 Of The Most Heartwarming And Beautiful Dad Quotes

ADVERTISEMENT

Dads aren’t just an eternal source of the best jokes known to humankind (although that’s an achievement we’d all be happy to unlock); they are also the superheroes, the silent intercessors who will always be there, no matter what kind of foolishness you get yourself into. Dads are also usually the ones to be, at least partly, liable to half of the folly that you two together agree on keeping silent from mom, but that’s where the fondest memories from childhood usually lie. They are your secret partners in crime, allowing you stuff a mother would never agree to! Although there are plenty more qualities to be listed as ‘pros’ when talking about father figures, instead of freely speculating, we should probably hear what the smart and famous people had to say about the institution of fatherhood. So, we’ve gathered just a bit short of a hundred dad quotes that have originated in the minds of Bindi Irwin, Jerry Seinfeld, and Mark Twain, just to drop a few of the names you’re about to meet.

Some of these beautiful quotes are actual dads shedding light on what it’s like to turn into a father, rather than being ‘just’ a man. Other wise words come from the sons and the daughters, sometimes praising the qualities their dads instilled in them, sometimes just thanking them for always being there. A minority of these smart quotes could also be attributed to moms, but the rest is a playground for interesting thoughts on fathers and fathers alone!

Without any further talk, let’s dive into the world of dads! Just a smidgeon down below, you’ll find our picks for the top dad quotes, dedications to dads, fathers talking about parenthood, and just generally smart words on what it’s like to be a parent. After you are done reading these intelligent quotes, be sure to vote for the ones that you agree with the most and share this article with your dad, maybe?

As a former teacher, I absolutely love this quote because it highlights that everyone's skills are not designed to accomplish the same tasks. However, Einstein did not say this. It is often attributed to him, but that's not where the quote comes from.

Mary Rose Kent 2 years ago

I was raped by my stepfather when I was 11 and was almost continually sexually abused throughout my adolescence; turns out this was also true for my sister and the brother born between us (who eventually moved to live with our father and his new family). Not too surprising I guess that I never married and all of my men friends are gay or married to a woman friend.
