Here are mine:

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,

The mother's heart is the child's school-room. ~Henry Ward Beecher
"A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them."
Victor Hugo

Women know
The way to rear up children (to be just)
They know a simple, merry, tender knack
Of tying sashes, fitting baby shoes,
And stringing pretty words that make no sense,
And kissing full sense into empty words.
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all." Benjamin Spock

Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it." Pamela Glenconner

"Nothing else will ever make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, as motherhood." Elia Parsons

"The mother love is like God's love; he loves us not because we are lovable, but because it is His nature to love, and because we are His children." Earl Riney

Rejecting things because they are old-fashion would rule out the sun and the moon, and a mother's love. Author Unknown
