"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times" breastfeeding quotes?

[3girls1boy]

This one comes to my mind often when I am talking to a brand new mother.

Does anyone have any other famous quotes, not necessarily about breastfeeding or parenting, that are can be applied to that situation?

The other one I thought of was, "There's a sucker born every minute."

With my struggles to BF I often think to myself:

It would be good for Moms who are struggling to keep going through obstacles and pain.

I think "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," describes the reaction of young children to Mama having needs that she'd like to meet that conflict with the kids' needs. Probably not something I'd embroider on a pillow, or anything...

"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger."

Okay this applies to everything from pregnancy to at least through the teen years right?

At least, it is what I tell myself everyday! :LOL

"I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

(Unfortunate - but true. And it applies to most other AP practices too.)
