FATHERS
"My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply, "We're raising boys." -- Harmon Killebrew
"Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope." -- Bill Cosby
"Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again." -- Jimmy Piersal
"To be a successful father...there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look at it for the first two years." -- Ernest Hemingway
It's a wonderful feeling when your father becomes not a god but a man to you--when he comes down from the mountain and you see he's this man with weaknesses. And you love him as this whole being, not as a figurehead.
Robin Williams Actor and comedian
A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow.
