Fifteen Father's Day quotes can brighten up a Dad's face. Sometimes, children wanted to say something to their fathers but it turns awkward for lack of words to verbalize it. According to Huffington Post, "Father's Day cards are frustratingly insincere." Reportedly, they often lack any real sentiment about what the buyer's father or grandfather is actually like as a person since it is full of jokes.
We listed fifteen quotes that children can use to tell their fathers what they really mean to say.
1. "Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope." -Billy Cosby, American comedian and actor
2. "This is my most important role. If I fail at this, I fail at everything." -Mark Wahlberg, American actor
3. "Fatherhood is great because you can ruin someone from scratch." -Jon Stewart, American political satirist and television host
4. "It's admirable for a man to take his son fishing, but there is a special place in heaven for the father who takes his daughter shopping." -John Sinor, San Diego Tribune newspaper columnist
5. "When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry." -William Shakespeare, English poet and playwright

7. "I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to talk about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter." -Jay Z, Shawn Corey Carter, hip-hop artist and producer
8. "Be a dad. Don't be 'Mom's assistant.' That's depressing, just waiting for her to write you a list, walk around a store staring at it, calling her from the cereal aisle to make sure you got the right thing. Be a man. Make your own list. Fathers have skills that they never use at home. You run a landscaping business and you can't dress and feed a 4-year-old? Take it on. Spend time with your kids and have your own ideas about what they need. It won't take away your manhood; it will give it to you. I did that. I spent more time with my kids.
