21 thought-provoking quotes about fathers

In life, it’s all too easy to prioritise things like work, career and socialising over those things that really matter most.

I’m not suggesting that work’s not important, because it is, of course. After all, by earning a living we can put bread on the table and a roof over our heads, as well as, those of our loved ones.

Socialising is also important because through it we can relax and alleviate stress.

However, the role of a parent is more important than any of these because children are the future. And children need a father as well as a mother.

As a father, you’re not just a sperm donor. You should be a provider and protector, of course, to ensure that your children get the best possible start in life.

You should offer support to their mother too, as that too will help your children.

However more than any of that, to your sons, you’re a role model and to your daughters, you are an example of how men treat women.

You should also be an authority figure, as it’s important that children are brought up within a moral framework and they should know where the boundaries are and what the penalties will be should there be any transgression.

Well-adjusted, well-behaved and well-educated young people are the future of any civilisation and fathers have an important role to play in making that happen.

So today I offer you 21 thought-provoking quotes about fathers to highlight the importance of why I think men have really been placed upon this earth.
