Father’s Day is here! It’s the day all sons and daughters pamper their beloved dad silly, showering him with gifts and hugs for being the driving force and inspirational idol in their lives.

This year on June 17, take your dad out to his favorite restaurant or go out fishing with him or if you have been too busy all year round, just call him and let him know how special he is in your life.

And since it is the age of social media, here are a few quotes from famous celebrities about what their dads meant to them that you can share on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and dedicate to your father (courtesy of Brainy Quote):

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” — Jim Valvano
