A Tribute to Mothers
In honor of this month being National Women's Month, I decided to post some of my favorite quotes on motherhood. Whether you are a mother or not these thoughts are worth pondering and please feel free to pass them on to any mommies that you might know. We all need support and encouragement!
"How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman's function is laborious; but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness." (What's Wrong with the World, G.K. Chesterton)
"Many times the richest boy is the one who sits in a poor mother's lap, because she has nothing else to give him but her love and affection."
"The greatest gift one can give our nation is to teach one's children to pray."
"Ah! How delicate a Mother's heart really is, and how it shows its tenderness in a thousand little cares that no one thinks about it!" St. Therese of Lisieux (Story of a Soul)
