Mother`s Quotes
Mothers ought to bring up and nurse their own children; for they bring them up with greater affection and with greater anxiety, as loving them from the heart, and so to speak, every inch of them.
Plutarch
I try to balance it out on the whole. Being a mum is always the priority. Next, it's taking care of yourself. Right now, I get to only work two days a week - it's a dream. I can't imagine how hard it is for mothers who work 40 hours a week.
Marcia Cross
Sroufe informally told me that he thought that resilience in adulthood could be predicted by how lovable mothers rated their kids at age two.
Bessel van der Kolk
Women are not allowed to be complicated in our society. We're comfortable seeing women as great mothers, and then we're comfortable seeing them as hookers, but there's no in-between.
Charlize Theron
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's.
Robert Frost
So may'st thou live, till like ripe fruit thou drop Into thy mother's lap, or be with ease Gathered, not harshly plucked, for death mature: This is old age; but then thou must outlive Thy youth, thy strength, thy beauty, which will change To withered weak and grey.
John Milton
I really doubt whether evolution ever works, how then come Mothers have only two hands.
Milton Berle
My mother's five-foot-two, and I'll be honest with you - she's the only person I'm scared of.
Kiefer Sutherland
Mothers don't want to pinch me or put me in their purse.
Paul Lynde
Were not only healthier but also less likely to report having been abused or neglected than a similar group whose mothers had not been visited. They also were more likely to have finished school, to have stayed out of jail, and to be working in well-paying jobs. Economists have calculated that every dollar invested in high-quality home visitation, day care, and preschool programs results in seven dollars of savings on welfare payments, health-care costs, substance-abuse treatment, and incarceration, plus higher tax revenues due to better-paying jobs.

In your time, politicians win points in the polls for proposing to punish unmarried teenaged mothers like me, not to mention our children.
Elizabeth Cunningham
My colleague Rachel Yehuda studied rates of PTSD in adult New Yorkers who had been assaulted or rapes. Those whose mothers were Holocaust survivors with PTSD had a significantly higher rate of developing serious psychological problems after these traumatic experiences. The most reasonable explanation is that their upbringing had left them with a vulnerable physiology, making it difficult for them to regain their equilibrium after being violated. Yehuda found a similar vulnerability in the children of pregnant women who were in the World Trade Center that fatal day in 2001. Similarly, the reactions of children to painful events are largely determined by how calm or stressed their parents are.
