There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.

Gerald R. Ford I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness - to save oneself trouble. Agatha Christie Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother. Jules Renard The scab is a traitor to his God, his mother, and his class. Jack London Aristotle uses a mother's love for her child as the prime example of love or friendship. Mortimer Adler If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher. Abdul Kalam Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes. Miguel de Cervantes I believe there's no proverb but what is true; they are all so many sentences and maxims drawn from experience, the universal mother of sciences. Miguel de Cervantes I don't mind being a grandfather; I've been a mother for so many years. You just can't believe what it's like being a father. Especially when you come out of the chaos of the road to getting married and having children. Steven Tyler I stand on the shoulders of countless people, yet there is one extraordinary person who is my life aspiration - that person is my mother, Celina Sotomayor. Sonia Sotomayor I used my mother's radio as a PA system. I'd take the telephone, the speaking part, and take those two leads off and lead them into the radio and the sound would come out of the speaker. Les Paul My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate, so that I wouldn't have to pay the extra fifty cents that the adults had to pay. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother. Elizabeth Cady Stanton A man's mother is his misfortune, but his wife is his fault. Walter Bagehot What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change. Jeanne Moreau When you're a mother and you have a son, you hide your feminine side. It's the fear of incest, Oedipus. Jeanne Moreau Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all the deadly sins. Edith Wharton I'm a mother with two small children, so I don't take as much crap as I used to. Pamela Anderson I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying. Mikhail Baryshnikov 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 |
