- James Joyce
The best place to cry is on a mother's arms.
- Jodi Picoult
The most savory grape, the one that produces the wines with best texture and aroma, the sweetest and most generous, doesn't grow in rich soil but in stony land; the plant, with a mother's obstinacy, overcomes obstacles to thrust its roots deep into the ground and take advantage of every drop of water. That, my grandmother explained to me, is how flavors are concentrated in the grape.
- Isabel Allende
To save a man and thereby to spare a father's agony and a mother's feelings is not to do a noble deed, it is but an act of humanity.

A mother's nurturing love arouses in children, from their earliest days on earth, an awakening of the memories of love and goodness they experience in their premortal existence, Because our mothers love us, we learn, or more accurately remember, that God also loves us
- M Russell Ballard
Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
I went to work with a guy named Matt Fuller, who was a Mothers fan, and low and behold, Arthur was working for him also. We worked together for about six months and decided to strike out on our own.
- Jimmy Carl Black
A mother's got to be there to raise the children. That's all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can't do it all the time.
- Eric Braeden
God warns us not to love any earthly thing above Himself, and yet He sets in a mother's heart such a fierce passion for her babes that I do not comprehend how He can test us so.
- Geraldine Brooks
For the last four years of her life, Mother was in a nursing home called Chateins in St. Louis... [S]ix months before she died I sent a Mother's Day card. There was a horrible, mushy poem in it. I remember feeling vaguely guilty.
- William S Burroughs
They were a mother's words, words I would say to my own daughter if I were concerned for her
- Tracy Chevalier
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
-The Last Seance (from The Hound of Death and Other Stories, also Double Sin and Other Stories)
- Agatha Christie
Delusions are often functional. A mother's opinions about her children's beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keep her from drowning them at birth.
- Robert A Heinlein
A mother's ability to provide for her children is not always tied to income, but rather to education.
- Cat Cora
a mother's death also means the loss of the consistent, supportive family system that once supplied her with a secure home base, she then has to develop her self-confidence and self-esteem through alternate means. Without a mother or mother-figure to guide her, a daughter also has to piece together a female self-image of her own.
- Hope Edelman
There is an emptiness inside of me -- a void that will never be filled. No one in your life will ever love you as your mother does. There is no love as pure, unconditional and strong as a mother's love. And I will never be loved that way again.
- Hope Edelman
Because a mother's love is God's greatest joke.
- Anne Enright
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
- Victor Hugo
God hears a mother's prayer.
- Victoria Gotti
A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother's love.
- Thomas Chandler Haliburton
A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.
- Khaled Hosseini
A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all.
- Washington Irving
She thoroughly felt the pitch and roll of the ship as it traveled southerly across the ocean. It was a pleasant feeling, an ancient one that every person who had ever loved the sea had felt and cherished--to be rocked to sleep, as if in a mother's arms or in a cradle.
- Victoria Kahler
A mother's body remembers her babies-the folds of soft flesh, the softly furred scalp against her nose. Each child has it's own entreaties to body and soul.
- Barbara Kingsolver
The only love that I really believe in is a mother's love for her children.
- Karl Lagerfeld
The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.
- Karl Marx
I never grew up with a mother's hand - that's why I will forever be insecure, I think, in that primal way.

Through feeble, old and grey.
For you'll never miss a mother's love
Till she's buried beneath the clay.
- Frank Mccourt
A mother's love is a blessing
No matter where you roam.
Keep her while you have her,
You'll miss her when she's gone
-- Angela's Ashes.
- Frank Mccourt
A mother's hardest to forgive.
Life is the fruit she longs to hand you
Ripe on a plate. And while you live,
Relentlessly she understands you.
- Phyllis Mcginley
A mother's love is everything, Jared. It is what brings a child into this world. It is what molds their entire being. When a mother sees her child in danger, she is literally capable of anything. Mother have lifted cars off of their children, and destroyed entire dynasties. A mother's love is the strongest energy known to man. You must that love, and it's power.
- Jamie Mcguire
He preferred to not think of his mother as having hips. He preferred to not think of her as a woman at all, more as a traveling mass of loving annoyance - a mother-shaped storm that inhabited the bakery and, in bringing rain for the growth of the living things over which she hovered, didn't mind scaring the piss out of them with a few thunderbolts from time to time.
- Christopher Moore
Love of democracy can be likened to a mother's love for her son.It must be cherished,nurtured and protected for all of time
- J R Ortiz
I was a mother's boy.
- Don Rickles
Memory was that woman on the train. Insane in the way she sifted through dark things in a closet and emerged with the most unlikely ones - a fleeting look, a feeling. The smell of smoke. A windscreen wiper. A mother's marble eyes. Quite sane in the way she left huge tracts of darkness veiled. Unremembered.
- Arundhati Roy
A father's suspicion...' she began.
Is as powerful as a mother's intuition.'
- Alice Sebold

- Lisa See
Blessings and worry, happiness and fear this is a mother's love.
- Lisa See
I think it's a mother's dream come true to see it work out that way. Not just the mother, but certainly parents, to know that their children have a very solid moral foundation and religious foundation.
- Erika Slezak
Children are the anchors of a mother's life.
- Sophocles
Yes, she loved the Lord and Lady in Their many forms... but those forms spanned the universe of space and time that sprang from Them, and They could be as terrible as the fiery death of suns, as inexorable as Time. A mother's kiss on her child's face came from Them, but so also the glaciers that grind continents to dust.
