Famous quotes containing the word dad:
“It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more.

“It takes a heap o children to make a home thats true,
And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe;
But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two,
Why, thats the sort of good old home for good old me and you.”
—Louis Untermeyer (18851977)
