Father's Day Wisdom

Father's Day Wisdom


As this is Father's Day ( weekend). I thought I'd write a blog on something to do with fathers.

My own idea of a good father is a man who will be there for his child whatever the circumstance and will listen and give advice when requested and above all will take the time to love the child unconditionally. Those are the important things . All the rest can be sorted out.

I have on my bookshelf a neat little book called “ A Father's Book of Wisdom”,compiled by H Jackson Brown Jrn.
This is a collection of all kinds of quotes from all kinds of people including the authors Dad. What a neat way to remember your father. The booklet is very interesting to read. Here are a few of the quotes.
On Aging: an old Indian Saying
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.
On Friendship: Robert Louis Stevenson
A friend is a gift you give yourself.
On Success: Anonymous
Success comes before work only in the dictionary.


Happy Father's day to all the fathers, young or old: we ladies appreciate you.
