Speaker
-
“A father may turn his back on his child; brothers and
sisters may become inveterate enemies; husbands may desert their wives and
wives their husbands. But a mother’s love endures through all; in good
repute, in bad repute, in the face of the world’s condemnation, a mother
still loves on, and still hopes that her child may turn from his evil
ways, and repent; still she remembers the infant smiles that once filled
her bosom with rapture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout of his
childhood, the opening promise of his youth; and she can never be brought
to think him all unworthy.”
-
“Men are what their mothers made them.”
-
“The Mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a
sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother’s side, yet
this very love must help the child grow away from the mother and to become
fully independent.”
-
“Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a
mother.”
-
“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but
whose place no one else can take.”
-
“A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make
leaning unnecessary.”
-
“Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still
brings boredom,exhaustion, and sorrow, too. Nothing else ever will make
you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard
as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you
struggle to keep your own.
-
“Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president,
but they don’t want them to become politicians in the process.”
-
“No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or
mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.”
-
”You are the bows from which your children as living
arrows are sent forth.”
