If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much.
mothers day quotes  by: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

As is the mother, so is her daughter.
mothers day quotes by: Ezekiel 16:4

mothers day quotes by

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
mothers day quotes by: Tenneva Jordan

Women do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers. They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be persons. Liberation was meant to expand women's opportunities, not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in new pursuits can also be found in mothering.
mothers day quotes by: Elaine Heffner


Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
mothers day quotes by : George Cooper
The sweetest sounds to mortals given
Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.
mothers day quotes by: William Goldsmith Brown

Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.
mothers day quotes by: Unknown

The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.
mothers day quotes by: Oliver Wendell Holmes

Women's Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's the men who are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no one's likely to do anything about that.
mothers day quotes by: Golda Meir

Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word "collectible" as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.
mothers day quotes by: Fran Lebowitz, "Parental Guidance," Social Studies, 1981

God took the fragrance
Of a flower
The majesty of a tree
The gentleness of morning dew
The calm of a quiet sea
The beauty of the twilight hour
The soul of a starry night
The laughter of a rippling brook
The grace of a bird in flight
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply - Mother.
mothers day quotes by: Herbert Farnham God's Masterpiece is Mother.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
mothers day quotes by: Washington Irving

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
mothers day quotes by: Abraham Lincoln

Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children.
mothers day quotes by: Sam Levenson

I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage.
mothers day quotes by: Elizabeth Taylor

The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom."
mothers day quotes by: Henry Ward Beecher

Mother - that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.
mothers day quotes by: T. DeWitt Talmage


Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother."
mothers day quotes by: Jane Welsh Carlyle
