One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.

A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.

You need a strong family because at the end, they will love you and support you unconditionally. Luckily, I have my dad, mom and sister.

My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad.

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

My dad said, ‘Stay humble, and you gotta work harder than everybody else.’ My mom said, ‘Always be yourself.’ She always told me only God can judge me.

Dad, wherever you are, you are gone but you will never be forgotten.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that’s why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.

I hope I can be as good of a father to my son as my dad was to me.

When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that’s happened that day just melts away.

Who’s my hero? That’s a great question… Well, I think my dad is my hero, because he’s someone I look up to every day.

I was always going to church with my mom, dad and sister. I was literally raised under the godly influence both at home and church. There was no alcohol and no smoking at our house. That was the way a Bowden was supposed to live. My dad always told me to represent the Bowden name in a respectful manner.

Dad is and always will be my living, breathing superhero.

My parents couldn’t give me a whole lot of financial support, but they gave me good genes. My dad is a handsome son-of-a-gun, and my mom is beautiful. And I’ve definitely been the lucky recipient. So, thank you, Mom and Dad.

I’m the one person who wears the words ‘hustle, loyalty, respect’ on my T-shirts and merchandise. My audience is children. It’s very flattering to see a kid wear your T-shirt; it’s even more flattering to have a dad come up to you and say, ‘I watch you with my kid. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re a role model for my son.’

I just wish I could understand my father.

When one has not had a good father, one must create one.

But the love of adventure was in father’s blood.

It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.

From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.
