Weโve looked at great dads, wonderful moms and awesome grandfathers, but what makes them great, wonderful and awesome? Protecting us? Sure. Unconditional love? Of course. Giving us money for ice-cream? Definitely.
Thereโs something else they give us, that we tend to forget โ until weโve received a nasty blow on the head from that thing called life.ย That precious thing they impart on us is wisdom, and since 19 June is Fatherโs Day, we decided to take a look at ten great quotes from fathers, and father figures, in the movies.
