From funny to touching, dads can say the darndest things when it comes to love and marriage. Whether it's to give you advice or to simply tell you the story of how he met your mother (again), you're bound to gain some valuable insight from what dear old day has to say. So in honor of Father's Day, we've compiled 12 famous fathers' quotes on love and marriage in the off-chance your dad hasn't already given you an earful! Father's Day Gift Guide: Ideas For All The Dads In Your Life
1. David Beckham: "If you love someone, you want to treat them, surprise them, remind them how you feel, whether that means a weekend away somewhere, or a bowl of fruit in the morning laid out in the shape of a heart."
2. Denzel Washington (pictured, with his daughter): "The secret words for a long marriage are 'Yes dear', 'OK honey' and 'I'll get it'."
3. Woody Allen: "The heart wants what it wants. There's no logic to these things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that's that."
4. Tom Hanks: "There's no substitute for a great love who says, 'No matter what's wrong with you, you're welcome at this table.'"
5. Bill Cosby: "Let us now set forth one of the fundamental truths about marriage: the wife is in charge."
6. Kurt Russell: "You can be very upset with someone you love. You can feel hurt and worried, but you don't start there. You start out from the fact that you care. Love comes first and overrides everything."
7. Richard Pattinson: "Dear Rob, I've been thinking about gestures and a good one in my opinion is to kiss a lady's hand. It's very romantic and refined. Offer a hand ostensibly to shake and then the kiss—I impressed your mother that way."
8. Barack Obama: "Sometimes, when we're lying together, I look at her and I feel dizzy with the realization that here is another distinct person from me, who has memories, origins, thoughts, feelings that are different from my own. That tension between familiarity and mystery meshes something strong between us. Even if one builds a life together based on trust, attentiveness and mutual support, I think that it's important that a partner continues to surprise."

9. John Aniston: "Greek men are sexier and make better boyfriends."
10. Will Smith: "You're so much stronger when your partner is strong. I honestly believe there is no woman for me but Jada. Of all the women I've met—and there've been a few—no one can handle me the way Jada does. Once you feel someone locked in on you, it's no contest."
11. Tom Cruise: "I really think that all men should celebrate their women. ...They should all jump on couches for them. ...When you find that woman, you should absolutely be unabashed about it. That's how I feel about it."
12. Steve Carell: "It sounds like a cliché, but it helps if you make each other laugh—a lot. There isn't a person on earth who understands my sense of humor better than my wife: We speak the same language, and that's why we ended up together."
