That best academy, a mother’s knee.

James Russell Lowell

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

Washington Irving

A mother understands what a child does not say.

Jewish Proverb

What the mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.

Henry Ward Beecher

Mother – that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.

T. DeWitt Talmage

Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together.

Pearl S. Buck

A mother is a mother still – the holiest thing alive.

Hartley Coleridge

A man’s work is from sun to sun, but a mother’s work is never done.

Author Unknown

A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s.

Diana, Princess of Wales

Every beetle is a gazelle in the eyes of its mother.
