give up." -- Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70th birthday.

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife
the best, but his mother the longest.
Irish proverb
A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never
done.
Author Unknown
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 endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate
the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
Washington Irving
God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.
Jewish Proverb
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly
in them.
Victor Hugo
All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.
Abraham Lincoln
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy.
No man does. That's his.
Oscar Wilde
It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and
violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the
desire to beget children is a natural urge.
Phyllis Diller
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they
are more certain they are their own.
Aristotle
The phrase 'working mother' is redundant.
Jane Sellman
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she

Mark Twain
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide
your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother,
the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control
your own destiny.
Albert Ellis
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never
existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A
mother is something absolutely new.
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to
do the impossible.
Marion C. Garretty
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed
me. They have clung to me all my life.
Abraham Lincoln
My mother always told me I wouldn't amount to anything because
I procrastinate. I said 'Just wait'.

The death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her.
Author Unknown
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.
Oprah Winfrey
By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who
do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless
class.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed
me. They have clung to me all my life.
Abraham Lincoln
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
Bob Dylan
If I was damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine.
Rudyard Kipling
I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage.
Elizabeth Taylor
Men are what their mothers made them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My mother had a slender, small body, but a large heart - a heart
so large that everybody's joys found welcome in it, and hospitable
accommodation.
Mark Twain
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am
I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the
moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
George Washington
No one in the world can take the place of your mother. Right
or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right. She may scold
you for little things, but never for the big ones.
Harry Truman
Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.
Lin Yutang
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which
you will always find forgiveness.
Honore de Balzac
The most important thing a father can do for his children is
to love their mother.
Theodore M. Hesburgh
The mother is everything - she is our consolation in sorrow,
our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is the
source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness. He who loses
his mother loses a pure soul who blesses and guards him constantly.
Kahlil Gibran
The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.
Henry Ward Beecher
The real religion of the world comes from women much more than
from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our
souls in their bosoms.

Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime.
William Shakespeare

What the child says, he has heard at home.

Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world
a mother's love is not.
James Joyce
Youth fades; love droops, the leaves of friendship fall;
A mother's secret hope outlives them all.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Arthur: 'It's at times like this I wish I'd listened to my mother.'
Ford : 'Why, what did she say?'
Arthur: 'I don't know, I never listened.'
Douglas Adams
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
A mother's heart is always with her children.
Proverb
The God to whom little boys say their prayers has a face very
like their mother's.
James Matthew Barrie
A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change
all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains
the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father
taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But
as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think
a photograph can be kind.
Albert Einstein
The greatest love is a mother's; then a dog's; then a sweetheart's.
Polish proverb
When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier,
you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the
pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.
Picasso
When your mother asks, 'Do you want a piece of advice?' it is
a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no.
You're going to get it anyway.

That is your greatest gift to me.

was ever achieved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When you feel neglected, think of the female salmon, who lays
3,000,000 eggs but no one remembers her on Mother's Day.

No woman can call herself free who does not own and control
her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose
consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.

mother in the molding of character in her children.

its perfect power.

for signs of improvement.

And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother.
Ann Taylor
Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who
so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.
Samuel Smiles
A mother's love's a blessing, no matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living, you'll miss her when she's gone
Love her as in childhood, though feeble, old and grey
For you'll never miss a mother's love, till she's buried beneath
the clay.
