My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day.

But there's no substitute for a full-time dad. Dads who are fully engaged with their kids overwhelmingly tend to produce children who believe in themselves and live full lives.

You know my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now I understand why. If I do my job well I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.

I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

When a father absent during the day returns home at six his children receive only his temperament not his teaching.

Thirteen 13 children and I love - I love them all. And I think I've been a good father to all of them.

My father loved people children and pets.

My father never raised his hand to any one of his children except in self-defense.

I hope I am remembered by my children as a good father.

The fundamental defect of fathers in our competitive society is that they want their children to be a credit to them.
