A Bit of Father's Day Wisdom.

You've probably noticed that I've got a soft spot for inspirational quotes.  So, as we recognize this Father's Day, I thought I'd share a few of my favorites from H. Jackson Brown's A Father's Book of Wisdom.

It's difficult for me to decide which of the quotes is my favorite. I guess I'd have to go with the last, the Winston Churchill quote. P.S. what a great picture... a lot of love there.
