Quotes Mothers

QUOTES

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

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

— Sophia Loren

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 troubles thicken 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 (1783-1859)

M-O-T-H-E-R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER",
A word that means the world to me.

--Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

Dear Mother ~

Thank you for your love and guidance
Your love has nourished me
Your guidance has influenced me
Although we've had different opinions
you've allowed me to have my own.
Whenever I've needed someone to talk with
you have always been there.
Your kind and gentle ways
have allowed my growth.
Your encouragement enabled me to move forward.
On this special Mother's Day,
I send all my love,
And may God bless you always.
