Being the dad of 4 girls and the grandfather of 2 more girls, I am always amazed and amused by some of the things my girls say. Especially when they want something from me or when they are trying to tell me how much they love me. Let me share with you some of my favorite Dad and Daughter (step daughter) Quotes.

Girls are sweet, creative, cunning, and often very funny when putting words together.

Dad and daughters have a special bond. If you are looking for a unique way to express this meaningful relationship, try some of this inspirational and funny daddy daughter quotes that I have compiled from others, some being noted celebrities.
