“Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children.”
John Shirley
“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.”
Tenneva Jordan
“The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best.”
Hamilton Wright Mabie
“The art of never making a mistake is crucial to motherhood. To be effective and to gain the respect she needs to function, a other must have her children believe she has never engaged in sex, never made a bad decision, never caused her own mother a moment's anxiety, and was never a child.”
Erma Bombeck
“I won't lie to you, fatherhood isn't easy like motherhood”
Dan Castellaneta
“Motherhood is priced of God, at price no man may dare to lessen or misunderstand.”
Helen Fiske Hunt Jackson
“It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.”
