Dads aren’t just an eternal source of the best jokes known to humankind (although that’s an achievement we’d all be happy to unlock); they are also the superheroes, the silent intercessors who will always be there, no matter what kind of foolishness you get yourself into. Dads are also usually the ones to be, at least partly, liable to half of the folly that you two together agree on keeping silent from mom, but that’s where the fondest memories from childhood usually lie. They are your secret partners in crime, allowing you stuff a mother would never agree to! Although there are plenty more qualities to be listed as ‘pros’ when talking about father figures, instead of freely speculating, we should probably hear what the smart and famous people had to say about the institution of fatherhood. So, we’ve gathered just a bit short of a hundred dad quotes that have originated in the minds of Bindi Irwin, Jerry Seinfeld, and Mark Twain, just to drop a few of the names you’re about to meet.
