Blessings are with your elders – Prophet MuhammadRate it:
A mother's love is greater than a child's confusion. – Denise Campbell MaysRate it:
Adam was the luckiest of men; he had no mother-in-law. – ProverbRate it:
As her sons have seen her: the mother in patriarchy: controlling, erotic, castrating, heart-suffering, guilt-ridden, and guilt-provoking; a marble brow, a huge breast, an avid cave; between her legs snakes, swamp-grass, or teeth; on her lap a helpless infant or a martyred son. She exists for one purpose: to bear and nourish the son. – Adrienne RichRate it:
Bad wife stays either near or often in the house of her mother – ProbarbRate it:
Can any man or woman choose duties? No more that they can choose their birthplace, or their father or mother. – George EliotRate it:
Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols. – John CalvinRate it:
For aesthetics is the mother of ethics. Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth. I believe-not empirically, alas, but only theoretically-that for someone who has read a lot of Dickens to shoot his like in the name of an idea is harder than for someone who has read no Dickens. – Joseph BrodskyRate it:
He who does not have the church as his mother does not have God as his Father. – Saint AugustineRate it:
I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took me to the library. I wanted to become a writer so I could see my name in the card catalog. – Sandra CisnerosRate it:
I didn't grow up with my mother beside me. But my father never said anything against my mother except good things and good memories. – Clifford Villanueva VillalonRate it:
I was 11 when the Germans invaded Holland. I remember seeing the planes flying overhead and sensing the great agitation of my parents. I thought we might get bombed or we might not get enough food, but the idea that we faced another threat because we were Jewish didn’t even enter my head. My mother was a Parisian Catholic, and although my father had registered us as Jewish in Amsterdam in 1938 — he wanted us to be part of the Jewish community, like the rest of his Dutch family — my older sister and I weren’t really brought up as Jewish. – Jacqueline van MaarsenRate it:
I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it, but do not make me suffer long. – Marie AntoinetteRate it:
I'm afraid I am a born romantic. I never had any doubt that I could fulfill any man's dream if I chose to. My mother had given me the key: tender, loving care. – Jane RussellRate it:
If need is the mother of all inventions, then curiosity is its genetic father undoubtedly. – Anuj SomanyRate it:
In our own beginnings, we are formed out of the body's interior landscape. For a short while, our mothers' bodies are the boundaries and personal geography which are all that we know of the world. ... Once we no longer live beneath our mother's heart, it is the earth with which we form the same dependent relationship, relying ... on its cycles and elements, helpless without its protective embrace. – Louise ErdrichRate it:
Indeed, a mother performs such a unique role and character that no one else can; however, every daughter takes her place continuously; it alternates the alternative. – Ehsan SehgalRate it:
Little girls are the nicest things that happen to people. They are born with a little bit of angelshine about them, and though it wears thin sometimes there is always enough left to lasso your heart-even when they are sitting in the mud, or crying temperamental tears, or parading up the street in mother's best clothes. – Alan Marshall BeckRate it:
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children – William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity FairRate it:
My father left us when I was 10, so I had to make enough money for us to be able to live in a house because my brother went in the service during Vietnam and I was sole support of my mother. And she had no skills, really, except to clean other people's houses. So I had to have a bunch of jobs, you know, as well as music. – Bob SegerRate it:
My mother was born in Scotland, in the Hebrides, in Stornoway, so that's serious Scotland. And she was a great woman, whenever anything was on about, ceremonial about the Queen she could sit at the television and just watch it. She had great respect for the Queen and for everything (she) represents. – Donald TrumpRate it:
Nadia Murad, 21, made the comments during a speech at London’s Trade Union Congress House, The Mirror reported Sunday. Murad, from the Iraqi town of Sinjar, said Nadia Murad was orphaned after ruthless ISIS militants killed six of her brothers and Nadia Murad mother. When they took me to Mosul and raped me, I forgot my mother and brothers. Because what they were doing to the women was more difficult than death, Nadia Murad said. Murad said Nadia Murad was among the more than 5,000 Yazidi women taken captive when ISIS swept through the region, many of which were sold into the sex trade. They were committing all kinds ; murder, rape and displacing people by force in the name of Islam. – Nadia MuradRate it:
Necessity is the mother of invention. Danger is the father of preparation. – Vicente LimRate it:
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed. – Harold MacMillanRate it:
