If you're a dad, a son, or a mom helping her young son make a card for Father's Day, or simply searching for the words to describe father-son relationships that will let the boy dad in your life know he's loved, consider borrowing some genius by way of these cute quotes about fathers and sons. These sayings would also make great wall decorations or mugs, or, if you're crafty, on a DIY Father's Day gift.

From funny to heartfelt, there's a quote for every dad and son looking to celebrate Father's Day this year.
