FATHER'S DAY DEDICATION....


Presbyterian High’s PSG wishes all fathers a blessed Father's Day.

Even though some fathers may feel that they are the most unnoticed and unsung heroes of our time; on the contrary, they are the most revered assets of the society.

Here are some of the countless words of encouragement specially dedicated to you…

"My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it." -- Clarence Budington Kelland, U.S. Writer

"How true Daddy's words were when he said: 'All children must look after their own upbringing.' Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." -- Anne Frank, German Jew and Holocaust Victim

"It is much easier to become a father than to be one." -- Kent Nerburn, U.S. Author and Educator

"My dad has always taught me these words: care and share." -- Tiger Woods, U.S. Professional Golfer

"Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!" -- Lydia M. Child, U.S. Author

"We are given children to test us and make us more spiritual." -- George Will, U.S. Journalist

For Christian fathers, God’s words speaks aloud in the Bible and here are some verses chosen for you.

Proverbs 10:9 The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out. (NIV)

Proverbs 17:24 A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth. (NIV)

Proverbs 17:27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. (NIV)
