I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much.

My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.

I've said it before, but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.

Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'This is our moment to look at who our men and boys are.'

I mean, I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it's just the thing that every man wants - to have a son and heir.

I think my mom put it best. She said, 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'

This is the price you pay for having a great father. You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments - and you get the tears at the end, too.

I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.

I have a Father's Day every day.

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.

Until you have a son of your own... you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son.

It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.

When it comes to Father's Day, I will remember my dad for both being there to nurture me and also for the times he gave me on my own to cultivate my own interests and to nurture my own spirit.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.

My dad's not here, but he's watching in heaven.

I was raised by my father; I was daddy's girl.

I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

My role model is my dad.
