Many VoiceQuilt callers begin a voice message toast to Dad with a quote or favorite saying. With Father’s Day roughly a week away, we thought we’d share some of our favorite quotes about Dads.

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.”~ Jim Valvano

“A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.” ~Author Unknown

“One father is more than a hundred Schoolmasters.” ~ George Herbert

Here are some funny quotes, too:

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished by how much he’d learned in seven years.” – Mark Twain

”If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.” ~Bill Cosby

“… kids, this is the holiest night of the year, tomorrow is Father’s Day, and that makes tonight, Father’s Day Eve …” – Homer Simpson

1.) I still laugh when I think about the time …….
2.) When I think of you the first thing to come to mind is …….
3.) I am grateful for so many things about you – but especially ……

We often overhear words like these when we quality-test VoiceQuilt Keepsake boxes created for Dad on Father’s Day. It gives us great joy to know that Dad can hear how much he is appreciated– in the voices of those that love him – over and over again.
