VICTOR HUGO

A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.

HONORE DE BALZAC

A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

E.M. FORSTER

I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.

PETER DE VRIES:

A suburban mother’s role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after. 

TENNEVA JORDAN:

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. 

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES:

The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men – from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. 

WILLIAM D. TAMMEUS:

You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around – and why his parents will always wave back. 

ANN TAYLOR:

Who fed me from her gentle breast
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.

Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother

OSCAR WILDE:

All women become like their mothers.  That is their tragedy.  No man does.  That’s his. 

AMBROSE BIERCE:

Sweater, n.:  garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly.
