My husband Rhashan reminds me of my father because he's got great strength of character. ~ Olivia Williams
Great Father quotes by Olivia Williams
She looked directly at me. "You're a great father, Russ. I know that now. If you're willing to move to Atlanta like Marge said, and you want to split time with London, I think we can probably figure something out." Which is exactly ~ Nicholas Sparks
Great Father quotes by Nicholas Sparks
Now, my father Matthias was not only eminent on account of is nobility, but had a higher commendation on account of his righteousness, and was in great reputation in Jerusalem, the greatest city we have. ~ Flavius Josephus
Great Father quotes by Flavius Josephus
When I was 5, my father was very much my hero. And he ran for political office in a very thankless campaign for a very thankless position. And he did it because his mother had instilled in him, if you are someone who has the capacity to make a great change, you have the responsibility. ~ Howard Warren Buffett
Great Father quotes by Howard Warren Buffett
What are you to do? You are always to remember that you are the child of a Great Father. You must not think that you are a sinner, that you are a degraded person. If you think that you are a sinner, it means you are meditating on sin! When sin has become the object of your meditation, you will become a sinner, because a person becomes just like the object of his or her ideation. We become the object of our meditation. ~ Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
Great Father quotes by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
My mother started to suffer from multiple sclerosis, but nobody knew what MS was then. My father didn't - and later he suffered a great deal of guilt over that. It was an awful business and very fraught. ~ Ruth Rendell
Great Father quotes by Ruth Rendell
I always knew I wanted a great man of God, someone who was going to be an inspiration for people and also be a lovely husband and father. ~ Katy Perry
Great Father quotes by Katy Perry
I'm Muhammad Ali's daughter, but my father and I are very different in that area. I don't necessarily try to put on a show. That's what my father's thing was, and he was great at it. Everything I say is because I feel it, and it comes out of my mouth. It's not scripted. ~ Laila Ali
Great Father quotes by Laila Ali
This war did not spring up on our land, this war was brought upon us by the children of the Great Father who came to take our land without a price, and who, in our land, do a great many evil things ... This war has come from robbery - from the stealing of our land. ~ Spotted Tail
Great Father quotes by Spotted Tail
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. ~ Hedy Lamarr
Great Father quotes by Hedy Lamarr
I have moved on and I am in a good place. My relationship with Tiger is centered around our children and we are doing really good - we really are - and I am so happy that is the case. He is a great father. ~ Elin Nordegren
Great Father quotes by Elin Nordegren
This war did not spring up here in our land; this war was brought upon us by the children of the Great Father who came to take our land from us without price, and who, in our land, do a great many evil things. ... This war has come from robbery - from the stealing of our land. [Spotted Tail] ~ Dee Brown
Great Father quotes by Dee Brown
My son is 7 years old. I am 54. It has taken me a great many years to reach that age. I am more respected in the community, I am stronger, I am more intelligent and I think I am better than he is. I don't want to be a pal, I want to be a father. ~ Clifton Fadiman
Great Father quotes by Clifton Fadiman
Raised by an irresponsible mother during the Great Depression in the Jim Crow south, my father was on his own from the age of 13. ~ Larry Elder
Great Father quotes by Larry Elder
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. ~ Harlan Coben
Great Father quotes by Harlan Coben
When I was born, the economy wasn't in a great state; it was the Depression, and my father had to be quick to try and find work. ~ Clint Eastwood
Great Father quotes by Clint Eastwood
But I'm a great father. That's why I got custody. ~ Kid Rock
Great Father quotes by Kid Rock
Free agency, given us through the plan of our Father, is the great alternative to Satan's plan of force. With this sublime gift, we can grow, improve, progress, and seek perfection. ~ James E. Faust
Great Father quotes by James E. Faust
My parents would always have us, as many times as we could, sit together for dinner and talk about what was happening in our lives, and so we created a great recipe where I could be completely honest with my mother and to an extent my father, being an attorney. ~ Ryan Seacrest
Great Father quotes by Ryan Seacrest
Maybe we shouldn't begin to stop believing in God when He starts to let go of our hand; because at that moment He begins to let go of your hand, that's the moment He's begun to believe in YOU! He says, "I believe in you, I know you can." And that's not the time to stop believing in someone, when He is believing in you. A good father knows when to let go and start believing that you can. We may not understand it at first, but after we look at ourselves and say "Wow, I'm awesome, I did that all by myself." Then we say "Thanks, dad. If you never let go of me, I would have never learned how to fly. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Great Father quotes by C. JoyBell C.
When I was growing up, I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl, a detective, a spy, a great actress, or a ballerina. Not a dentist, like my father, or a homemaker, like my mother - and certainly not a writer, although I always loved to read. ~ Judy Blume
Great Father quotes by Judy Blume
My father had always identified himself as a writer to my mother when they met. When they met, he was writing this great novel, there was no doubt about it. Part of why she left him was this delusion of greatness and identifying it very directly with being an artist. ~ Nick Flynn
Great Father quotes by Nick Flynn
Each great athlete must some day bow to that perennial old champion, Father Time, even as I, for Time eventually wins. ~ Major Taylor
Great Father quotes by Major Taylor
We never know through what Divine mysteries of compensation the great Father of the universe may be carrying out His sublime plan; but those three words, "God is love " ought to contain, to every doubting soul, the solution of all things. ~ Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
Great Father quotes by Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
I will conclude this work with stating in what light religion appears to me.
If we suppose a large family of children, who, on any particular day, or particular circumstance, made it a custom to present to their parents some token of their affection and gratitude, each of them would make a different offering, and most probably in a different manner. Some would pay their congratulations in themes of verse and prose, by some little devices, as their genius dictated, or according to what they thought would please; and, perhaps, the least of all, not able to do any of those things, would ramble into the garden, or the field, and gather what it thought the prettiest flower it could find, though, perhaps, it might be but a simple weed. The parent would be more gratified by such a variety, than if the whole of them had acted on a concerted plan, and each had made exactly the same offering. This would have the cold appearance of contrivance, or the harsh one of control. But of all unwelcome things, nothing could more afflict the parent than to know, that the whole of them had afterwards gotten together by the ears, boys and girls, fighting, scratching, reviling, and abusing each other about which was the best or the worst present.
Why may we not suppose, that the great Father of all is pleased with variety of devotion; and that the greatest offence we can act, is that by which we seek to torment and render each other miserable? For my own part, I am fully satisfied that wha ~ Thomas Paine
Great Father quotes by Thomas Paine
A great father is one whose children look up to him rather than away from him. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Great Father quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
My parents were children during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and it scarred them. Especially my father, who saw destitution in his Brooklyn, New York neighborhood; adults standing in so called 'bread lines,' children begging in the streets. ~ Bill O'Reilly
Great Father quotes by Bill O'Reilly
It's rare to see a man step up and say "I can be a great father and learn about gymnastics with my daughter and take her to dance lessons because I love her." I can make time to blow bubbles on the back porch. It doesn't cause your man card to be revoked. ~ Dan Alatorre
Great Father quotes by Dan Alatorre
As I have said many times - my father was a great fan of Bill Dickey's and he certainly loved the Yankees. I hope that he would be pleased. ~ George Steinbrenner
Great Father quotes by George Steinbrenner
The Philippines is a terrible name, coming from Spain. Phillip II was the father of the inquisition, who I believe died of syphilis. It is my great regret that we didn't change the name of our country. ~ Imelda Marcos
Great Father quotes by Imelda Marcos
Real Womanhood isn't a function of becoming a great mother, but of being loved by your Great Father. ~ Ann Voskamp
Great Father quotes by Ann Voskamp
I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement. ~ Russell Simmons
Great Father quotes by Russell Simmons
Theater was definitely part of my roots. My father would take me to plays, and then my mother was always on the lookout for other talent and taking me to see plays. I saw Frank Langella in 'Dracula' ... Great, great performances. I was a theater rat, hanging out backstage. ~ Christian Slater
Great Father quotes by Christian Slater
Now I can look back and say I actually like the upbringing I had and my father was very attentive and a great educator. ~ Anthony Kiedis
Great Father quotes by Anthony Kiedis
He's by best friend and the father of my children. He's a great ex. ~ Sarah Ferguson
Great Father quotes by Sarah Ferguson
He learned through the way that my father and I felt about his songs, his country songs, that they were great songs. And then he went out and sang them for the audiences that we found, and he found a tremendous reaction to that. ~ Alan Lomax
Great Father quotes by Alan Lomax
In October 1805, Stoddard's tour left St. Louis, including forty-five Indians from eleven tribes. They arrived in Washington in January 1806. Jefferson gave them the standard Great Father talk: "We are become as numerous as the leaves of the trees, and, tho' we do not boast, we do not fear any nation. . . . My children, we are strong, we are numerous as the stars in the heavens, & we are all gun-men." He followed the threat with the carrot: if they would be at peace with one another and trade with the Americans, they could be happy. (In reply, one of the chiefs said he was glad the Americans were as numerous as the stars in the skies, and powerful as well. So much the better, in fact, for that meant the government should be strong enough to keep white squatters off Indian lands.) ~ Stephen E. Ambrose
Great Father quotes by Stephen E. Ambrose
I was born with a silver microphone in my mouth, and that was an advantage. My father wrote books and was also a great broadcaster. ~ Jonathan Dimbleby
Great Father quotes by Jonathan Dimbleby
My father taught me respect for quality as well as a sense of dignity - great values as we face a world going in a different direction. I try to teach my children to stay close to the real things. ~ Diego Della Valle
Great Father quotes by Diego Della Valle
He wasn't a great father. He was a great musician. That's always been a touchy one, and it will be until I can find the answer, but I don't know if there is one. ~ Julian Lennon
Great Father quotes by Julian Lennon
I tell people I'm a stand-up comedian two hours a week. The rest of the time, I'm somebody's husband, I'm somebody's father. I'm a man. I take great pride in that. ~ Steve Harvey
Great Father quotes by Steve Harvey
You will find that if you really try to be a father, your child will meet you halfway. ~ Robert Breault
Great Father quotes by Robert Breault
My father had all these great names for our cows. Bossy and Daisy and Petunia and Turnip. One of my jobs was to round up the cows before milking. I'd go out back with the dog and bring them in. ~ Bobbie Ann Mason
Great Father quotes by Bobbie Ann Mason
When I was a child, writing was the worst possible choice of a career in my family. My father had always identified himself as a writer to my mother when they met. When they met, he was writing this great novel, there was no doubt about it. ~ Nick Flynn
Great Father quotes by Nick Flynn
I don't care what they say about me when I'm through with sports. I don't want to be known as anything else in life but a great father. ~ Deion Sanders
Great Father quotes by Deion Sanders
I was just studying with my father, a very difficult task for me since he was a great, great Qawwali singer. ~ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Great Father quotes by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
My father was and is a great father. My father always wanted to do stand-up. He wanted to be an actor. But instead he did two jobs. He did customer service at a hospital and he worked as a waiter at night. He pretty much sacrificed everything for his daughters. ~ Sherri Shepherd
Great Father quotes by Sherri Shepherd
My father's drinking was sometimes a problem. And a great deal went unspoken. He was not particularly acute or articulate about the emotions. But he was very affectionate towards me. ~ Ian McEwan
Great Father quotes by Ian McEwan
I don't have any great first job tales: I've never worked on a tramp steamer or in a coal mine or anything like that. I think the inspiration for my writing came largely from my father and the joy that life in books represented to me. ~ Mary Gordon
Great Father quotes by Mary Gordon
On a personal level, there are many people who have meant a great deal to me. My father and mother were certainly of vital importance, not only in themselves but because they created a world for me to revolt against. ~ Ingmar Bergman
Great Father quotes by Ingmar Bergman
My father went to Rutgers, and I grew up in New Jersey, so I'm a great Rutgers fan. I have season tickets. ~ Peter Eisenman
Great Father quotes by Peter Eisenman
You have driven me from the East to this place, and I have been here two thousand years or more ... My friends, if you took me away from this land it would be very hard for me. I wish to die in this land. I wish to be an old man here ... I have not wished to give even a part of it to the Great Father. Though he would give me a million dollars or more I would not give to him this land ... When people want to slaughter cattle they drive them along until they get them to a corral, and then they slaughter them. So it was with us ... My children have been exterminated; my brother has been killed. ~ Standing Bear
Great Father quotes by Standing Bear
Look at me. I was a warrior on this land where the sun rises, now I come from where the sun sets. Whose voice was first surrounded on this land - the red people with bows and arrows. The Great Father says he is good and kind to us. I can't see it ... ~ Red Cloud
Great Father quotes by Red Cloud
My father started out as a riveter, but he had the soul of an artist. He worshiped Shakespeare and had aspirations to be an actor. He claimed that from the first day he laid eyes on me, I was going to be this great dramatic actress. ~ Christine Ebersole
Great Father quotes by Christine Ebersole
When you're gone would you rather have your gravestone say, 'He never missed a meeting.' Or one that said, 'He was a great father.' ~ Steve Blank
Great Father quotes by Steve Blank
I'm a great lover of children. I never thought that one day I'd actually be a father, but I'm very pleased that I changed my mind. Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world. ~ Elton John
Great Father quotes by Elton John
Basically, my parents messed up because it was the Sixties, and they both had affairs, but they had a great love for each other. I saw that when my father flew over from Los Angeles when he knew my mother was going to die. ~ Saffron Aldridge
Great Father quotes by Saffron Aldridge
I feel very blessed to have a partner in life who supports me, who is enthusiastic about what I want to do, who has been a great father, and who will be a fabulous grandfather. ~ Hillary Clinton
Great Father quotes by Hillary Clinton
My parents were no ordinary people. My mother turned Gandhian, and my father was a staunch communist. They named me after the great saint as a symbol of communal harmony. ~ Kabir Bedi
Great Father quotes by Kabir Bedi
It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me. ~ Daniel Day-Lewis
Great Father quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
Another Chief remembered that since the Great Father promised them that they would never be moved they had been moved five times. "I think you had better put the Indians on wheels," he said sardonically, "and you can run them about whenever you wish. ~ Dee Brown
Great Father quotes by Dee Brown
I met my wife in Bombay at an official function. And then we courted for three years. That's a great old term, 'courting.' And we had to do it quietly, of course, because you would know the difficulties one might have with Indian parents. She was advised by her father that people in the West don't take marriage seriously. ~ Glenn Turner
Great Father quotes by Glenn Turner
One of my great values that my father intuited, and indirectly taught me, is that you should always have a plan but be open to opportunity. ~ Jeff Raikes
Great Father quotes by Jeff Raikes
Michael and I had great role models. Though his father has passed away, his parents had an amazingly strong marriage, as do mine. Both weathered really tough times. For us it has been normal to stay together through difficulties. We grew up witnessing that firsthand. ~ Tracy Pollan
Great Father quotes by Tracy Pollan
My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20. ~ Mary Wesley
Great Father quotes by Mary Wesley
We lived in the shadow of our rich relations. Mother was intent on keeping up with the people she was raised with, which was impossible. My father was a physician who wanted to be a rabbi but was weighed down by a great sense of obligation to support his family in style. ~ Stewart Stern
Great Father quotes by Stewart Stern
I don't know about marriage as much as I do know that I'd be a great father. ~ Tyler Perry
Great Father quotes by Tyler Perry
Tiger had the advantage of high school, college, and a father who knew golf. I was self-taught. Blacks really won't play golf in great numbers until some of these basketball and football stars buy some golf courses where blacks can play. ~ Charlie Sifford
Great Father quotes by Charlie Sifford
If I did not have for him the warm affection a son feels toward a less austere and preoccupied father, I at least had an immense respect for him, and a great admiration. ~ Lincoln Ellsworth
Great Father quotes by Lincoln Ellsworth
My father, who had previously been a civil engineer, died in the great influenza epidemic of 1918. ~ James Rainwater
Great Father quotes by James Rainwater
I think that every Saturday, we ought to say, 'My father's a Jew, my mother was a Jew, and I'm a Jew,' with great pride. ~ Ed Koch
Great Father quotes by Ed Koch
I will begin first to search out this right by that magna charta, that great and faithful charter which was made to Abraham, the father of the faithful, in the name of all his seed. ~ Thomas Goodwin
Great Father quotes by Thomas Goodwin
We should all aspire in life to do a multitude of things well - to be a great father, to be a good husband, to be a good lover, you know, to try to do things the best you can is very important to me. ~ Matthew Modine
Great Father quotes by Matthew Modine
My father was a really good athlete, so his pop-ups really were sky high. Eventually I learned how to judge them properly and catch them well. It was great training for when I started to play on teams, which I did all through school. ~ Artie Lange
Great Father quotes by Artie Lange
I did not give my daughter the kind of childhood anybody would want. The vision of the divided loyalty between a mother and father who don't live together and don't share in decisions is a great depravation for children. ~ Gail Sheehy
Great Father quotes by Gail Sheehy
My father never was and isn't a mean man. You know, he never was ruthless. And he succeeded in life without sticking it to anybody. And that's a great example for a man, a strong man, a man's man, to give to his children. You can succeed, you can be successful, without walking over somebody. ~ Maria Shriver
Great Father quotes by Maria Shriver
Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn't teach me everything he knows. ~ Al Unser
Great Father quotes by Al Unser
Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow. ~ Reed B Markham
Great Father quotes by Reed B Markham
Being a father or a mother is not only a great challenge, it is a divine calling. It is an effort requiring consecration. ~ James E. Faust
Great Father quotes by James E. Faust
After clearing the land, planting the orchard, building the house and barn, and surviving the Great Depression, our father died suddenly one winter night when we were small, leaving us to learn about loss before we even knew its name. ~ Virginia Euwer Wolff
Great Father quotes by Virginia Euwer Wolff
I was a big reader as a child. My father is a great book lover and a librarian, but he forbid me to read bad literature. I was not allowed to read Nancy Drew or books like that. I often say to him that me becoming a crime author is both a way of pleasing him and annoying him. ~ Asa Larsson
Great Father quotes by Asa Larsson
I always sang when I was little and my father, who was a great influence on me, also had a wonderful voice. He and my mother really encouraged me to sing and play the piano. They were always very supportive. ~ Judy Collins
Great Father quotes by Judy Collins
My mother studied English and drama at the University of Pennsylvania, where my father studied architecture. She was a great influence in all sorts of ways, a wicked wit. ~ Donald Barthelme
Great Father quotes by Donald Barthelme
If you always meditate on sin, "I am a sinner, I am a sinner," actually you will become a sinner. The psychological approach is, you should forget it - even if you are a sinner, you should think, "I am the son of a Great Father, I am the daughter of a Great Father." Thus you are meditating on the Great Father, and a day is sure to come when you will become one with your Great Father. ~ Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
Great Father quotes by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
My father, John Steinbeck, was a man who held human history in great reverence, and in particular the biographies of those people who had risked their lives, their fortunes, and their worldly honor to defend the rights and prerogatives of those who were powerless to defend themselves. ~ Thomas Steinbeck
Great Father quotes by Thomas Steinbeck
I obviously have a great love and appreciation of jewelry, thanks to my mother, much to the dismay of both my father and my boyfriends. ~ Ivanka Trump
Great Father quotes by Ivanka Trump
My father was truly a great man. I remember one day putting my feet in my father's shoes. I was amazed at the size. Would I ever be big enough to fill his shoes? Could I ever grow into the man my father was? I wondered. ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin
Great Father quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin
If, like Harry Keogh, I could talk to the dead - God, there are an awful lot of people I would like to speak to! Not least my father. Being in the army for 22 years, I didn't see enough of him, and I know there are a great many things I could have learned from him. ~ Brian Lumley
Great Father quotes by Brian Lumley
Being a father is just great. I love every minute - even the rubbish, middle-of-the night stuff. ~ Tom Ward
Great Father quotes by Tom Ward
I have a great pic of my father and Rev. Graham laughing hysterically at some joke with George Pratt Shultz looking on back in 1972 or so. ~ Ben Stein
Great Father quotes by Ben Stein
God's unchangeable commitment assures us His everlasting love and security over us. Great Father. ~ Euginia Herlihy
Great Father quotes by Euginia Herlihy
The dangers of life are infinite, and among them is safety. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Great Father quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
One of the great divides, I think, between people who date a lot and people who date never is that people who date never don't understand putting up with "fine." I can't begin to conceive of why anybody would voluntarily spend great chunks of her free time dedicated to someone she doesn't adore, because I never do that. My dater friends, on the other hand, do this all the time. I know this because I'm the one they meet up with after, and I'm the one who has to try to understand why my otherwise brilliant friends keep hanging out with people about whom they only have bad (or very, very mediocre) things to say. A person who has spent her life planning her free time based only on herself, and the friends she knows she loves, can't understand this. Why would I want to go out to dinner and a movie with someone I'm not completely crazy about when I already know how much I like eating dinner and watching a movie by myself, or with Rylee? Getting someone else involved means I have to put on a nicer outfit and stress out about the way I look chewing my food. If I'm going to have to consider my chewing face, I only want to do it for someone I think I might be able to really like. I know that might make it harder for me. I know there is a possibility - a very little one, though, that I have a hard time really believing in - that chemistry can grow where there wasn't any to begin with. I know that if I don't put myself out there, I won't just answer my door someday to find my perfect spo ~ Katie Heaney
Great Father quotes by Katie Heaney
If you want to earn the gratitude of your own age you must keep in step with it. But if you do that you will produce nothing great. If you have something great in view you must address yourself to posterity: only then, to be sure, you will probably remain unknown to your contemporaries; you will be like a man compelled to spend his life on a desert island and there toiling to erect a memorial so that future seafarers shall know he once existed. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Great Father quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
In the midst of the awfulness, a touch comes and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ. The right hand not of restraint nor of correction nor of chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father. Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it is ineffable peace and comfort, the sense that "underneath are the everlasting arms," full of sustaining and comfort and strength.
My Utmost for His Highest: Classic Edition ~ Oswald Chambers
Great Father quotes by Oswald Chambers
Without courage, honor, compassion, pity, love and sacrifice, as William Faulkner pointed out, we know not of love, but lust. We debase our audience. But we can ennoble and enrich our viewers and ourselves in our journey through this good time, this precious time, this great and wonderful experience we call life. ~ Earl Hamner, Jr.
Great Father quotes by Earl Hamner, Jr.
Yes, pain, disappointment, frustration, and anguish can be temporary scenes played out on the stage of life. Behind them can be a background of peace and the positive assurance that a loving Father will keep His promises. ~ Richard G. Scott
Great Father quotes by Richard G. Scott
My mother never forgave my father ~ Stanley Kunitz
Great Father quotes by Stanley Kunitz
Perhaps great fiction is in reality, deep hidden truths. ~ S.G. Savage
Great Father quotes by S.G. Savage
When we build ... let it not be for present delights nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think ... that a time is to come when these stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor, and the wrought substance of them, See! This our fathers did for us! ~ John Ruskin
Great Father quotes by John Ruskin
