THE QUOTABLE DAD is a collection of hundreds of memorable quotations about the relationships between fathers and their sons and daughters--some wise, some thoughtful, some hilarious. The quotations range from the thoughts of an expectant father, to the rewards and challenges of raising children, to the delightful musings on being a grandfather. They are culled from sources as varied as famous writers, actors, athletes, comedians, captains of industry, politicians, and philosophers.
