Appreciation Quote by Bill Cosby
“It doesn't make any difference how much money a father earns, his name is always Dad-Can-I… Like all other children, my five have one great talent: they are gifted beggars. Not one of them ever ran into the room, looked up at me, and said, "I'm really happy that you're my father, and as a tangible token of my appreciation, here's a dollar.”
