Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.
- Jessica Alba
I have a sister, so I know-that relationship, it's all about fairness: you want your sibling to have exactly what you have-the same amount of toys, the same number of meatballs on your spaghetti, the same share of love. But being a mother is completely different. You want your child to have more than you ever did. You want to build a fire underneath her and watch her soar. It's bigger than words.
- Jodi Picoult
Only later did I come to understand that to be a mother is to be an illusion. No matter how vigilant, in the end a mother can't protect her child - not from pain, or horror, or the nightmare of violence, from sealed trains moving rapidly in the wrong direction, the depravity of strangers, trapdoors, abysses, fires, cars in the rain, from chance.
- Nicole Krauss
A mother is neither cocky, nor proud, because she knows the school principal may call at any minute to report that her child had just driven a motorcycle through the gymnasium.
- Mary Kay Blakely
Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn't interest you, don't do it - I would have made a terrible mother.
- Katharine Hepburn
The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation.
- Robert A Heinlein
Being a mother is like trying to hold a wolf by the ears," Gram said. "If you have three or four or more chickabiddies, you're dancing on a hot griddle all the time. You don't have time to think about anything else. And if you've only got one or two, it's almost harder. You have room left over empty spaces that you think you've got to fill up.
- Sharon Creech
I always wanted a child. Being a mother is the central thing in my life.
- Carol Ann Duffy
You're raised to think being a mother is an inevitable step in your development but you start to ask yourself questions, because not every woman does want to have children.
- Lena Dunham
A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnessary.
- Dorothy Canfield Fisher
Being a wife and a mother is very gratifying, but it's not a creative expression and that's something I need to be happy.
- Genie Francis
Being a mother is quite tiring. There's not much time to do anything. You just rush around and it's hard work.
- Kirsty Gallacher
I especially wish to praise and encourage young mothers. The work of a mother is hard, too often unheralded work... Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones.
- Jeffrey R Holland
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 desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
- Washington Irving
In a child's eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe.
- N K Jemisin
I think being a mother is the cruelest thing in the world.
- Nella Larsen
The life of a mother is the life of a child: you are two blossoms on a single branch.
- Karen Maezen Miller
Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman; you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.
- Brigitte Nielsen
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. and so in you the child your mother lives on and through your family continues to live... so at this time look after yourself and your family as you would your mother for through you all she will truly never die.
- Osho
I find being a mother is a huge advantage. Of course, I'm probably a little more tired than I might be if I didn't have children, but I think they provide me the balance that I need to keep my mind off of lifting.
- Melanie Roach
No matter how old a mother is she watches her middle-aged children for signs of improvement.
- Florida Scottmaxwell
Being a mother is no longer a liability, and being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition! That's what change looks like.
- Kathleen Sebelius
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
- Meryl Streep
A mother is a mother from the moment her baby is first placed in her arms until eternity. It didn't matter if her child were three, thirteen, or thirty.
- Sarah Strohmeyer
Being a mother is hard and it wasn't a subject I ever studied.
- Ruby Wax
