Mother's Love

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

That's what motherhood is: you're working; you're doing 25 different jobs, and you're not getting paid.

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.

Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation.

When you are caring about your children perhaps you always have to remember at what point you can become over involved because of something you need rather than something the child needs.

Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.

Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.

Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own.

Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.

If you are a mother then you know the feeling of true love. Once you look into the eyes of your children you feel the love that could never be shared with another.

Motherhood: The most exhausting, emotional, rewarding and life-enhancing journey a woman can take.

Though motherhood is the most important of all the professions -- requiring more knowledge than any other department in human affairs -- there was no attention given to preparation for this office.

Silence is golden, unless you have kids, then silence is just plain suspicious.

The only love that I really believe in is a mother’s love for her children.

No man is poor who has a Godly mother.

In a child's eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe.

The best place to cry is on a mother's arms.

As it stands, motherhood is a sort of wilderness through which each woman hacks her way, part martyr, part pioneer; a turn of events from which some women derive feelings of heroism, while others experience a sense of exile from the world they knew.

Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women. It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits our Father gave us.

Motherhood is wonderful, but it's also hard work. It's the logistics more than anything. You discover you have reserves of energy you didn't know you had.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

A mother knows what her child's gone through, even if she didn't see it herself.

This is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it. Otherwise children would be nothing more than pets.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

Motherhood is neither a duty nor a privilege, but simply the way that humanity can satisfy the desire for physical immortality and triumph over the fear of death.

It is not until you become a mother than your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

Mothers were the only ones you could depend on to tell the whole, unvarnished truth.

Clarity and focus doesn’t always come from God or inspirational quotes. Usually, it takes your mother to slap the reality back into you.

The more a daughter knows the details of her mother's life, the stronger the daughter.

A mother who radiates self-love and self-acceptance actually vaccinates her daughter against low self-esteem.

It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.

If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them, and half as much money.

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
