Give me the life of the boy whose mother is nurse, seamstress, washerwoman, cook, teacher, angel, and saint, all in one, and whose father is guide, exemplar, and friend. No servants to come between. These are the boys who are born to the best fortune.
~mothers sayings by Andrew Carnegie
With those who don't give a damn about baseball, I can only sympathize. I do not resent them. I am even willing to concede that many of them are physically clean, good to their mothers and in favor of world peace. But while the game is on, I can't think of anything to say to them.
~mothers sayings by Art Hill
The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers
~famous quotes about Mothers Day by Jewish Proverb
The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return, taught the real value of photography to every father and mother. To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation.
~mothers sayings by Louis Fabian Bachrach
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected become the expected?
~mothers sayings by
What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.
~good sayings about War by Robert E. Lee, letter to his wife, 1864
Motherhood is like Albania - you can't trust the descriptions in the books, you have to go there
~mothers quotes by Marni Jackson
Sibling relationships - and 80 percent of Americans have at least one - outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, loyalty and distrust.
~motivational quotes about Brothers sayings by Erica E. Goode, The Secret World of Siblings, U.S. News & World Report, 10 January 1994
Money does not pay for anything, never has, never will. It is an economic axiom as old as the hills that goods and services can be paid for only with goods and services.
~mothers sayings by Albert Jay Nock, Memoirs of a Superfluous Man, 1943
Politicians say they're beefing up our economy. Most don't know beef from pork.
~mothers sayings by Harold Lowman
If I knew something that would serve my country but would harm mankind, I would never reveal it; for I am a citizen of humanity first and by necessity, and a citizen of France second, and only by accident.
~good sayings about Patriotism by Montesquieu
If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself. He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.
~mothers quotes by W. Beran Wolfe
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love
~motivational quotes about I Love You sayings by Albert Einstein
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
~mothers sayings by T.S. Eliot
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is
~mothers sayings by C.S.Lewis
Our credulity is greatest concerning the things we know least about. And since we know least about ourselves, we are ready to believe all that is said about us. Hence the mysterious power of both flattery and calumny.
~good sayings about Self by Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State of Mind
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
~mothers quotes by Marcus Aurelius
An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature, and a measurement is the recording of Nature's answer.
~motivational quotes about Science sayings by Max Planck, Scientific Autobiography and Other Papers, 1949
All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.
~mothers sayings by John Berger
Is there no Latin word for Tea? Upon my soul, if I had known that I would have let the vulgar stuff alone.
~mothers sayings by Hilaire Belloc
It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, Go away, I'm looking for the truth, and so it goes away. Puzzling.
~good sayings about Self-Discovery by Robert M. Pirsig
Our clothes are too much a part of us for most of us ever to be entirely indifferent to their condition: it is as though the fabric were indeed a natural extension of the body, or even of the soul.
