What I’ve realized is that life doesn’t count for much unless you’re willing to do your small part to leave our children – all of our children – a better world. Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father. Barack Obama
About This Quote

The quotation above, credited to former Vice President Al Gore, is a call for fathers to step up and be more involved in their families. Too many times, people fail to realize the true responsibility of being a parent and become lax about their duties. However, when we take pride in our roles and do our best at each and every task we undertake, we can make a real difference in the lives of children all over the world.
