Mother's Day is a torment if your mother is dead. Valentine's Day is a torment if you don't got one. And at some point in our lives, we will be tormented by Valentine's Day even if we're relatively lucky in love.
‐‐ Dan Savage
Mother's Day, like motherhood itself, is fraught with peril. There are so many ways to get it wrong, so many opportunities to disappoint and be disappointed.
‐‐ Meghan Daum
Mother's interest in contemporary American artists emerged during the 1920s.
‐‐ David Rockefeller
Mother's love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.
‐‐ Erich Fromm
Mother's taste was eclectic and ranged from the ancient world to the contemporary from Europe to the U.S.
‐‐ David Rockefeller
Mother set impossibly high standards for us, creating tremendous pressures and undermining our ability to accomplish whatever modest aims we may have set for ourselves.
‐‐ Katharine Graham
Mother, she likes the blue material just fine.
‐‐ Ron White
Mother Teresa's detractors have accused her of overemphasizing Calcuttans' destitution and of coercing conversion from the defenseless. In the context of lost causes, Mother Teresa took on battles she knew she could win. Taken together, it seems to me, the criticisms of her work do not undermine or topple her overall achievement.
‐‐ Bharati Mukherjee
Mother Teresa was asked what was the meaning of life, and she said to help other people, and I thought, 'What a strange thing to say' - but maybe it's the right thing to say.
‐‐ Jesse Eisenberg
Mother Teresa was the very embodiment of saintliness: white-clad, sad-eyed, ascetic and often photographed with the wretched of the earth.
‐‐ Steven Pinker
Mother was a great force in her area of evangelism.
‐‐ Jessi Colter
Mother was actually a great doer and organizer. All the special occasions were directed by mother.
‐‐ Ingmar Bergman
Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.
‐‐ Robert Browning
Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do even though it takes a lot.
‐‐ Meg Ryan
Motherhood changed me completely.
‐‐ Juhi Chawla
Motherhood changes everything.
‐‐ Adriana Trigiani
Motherhood definitely took the focus off of my work. And I didn't mind. I had a few panics when I thought that if I wanted to work I couldn't get a job anymore and then I would get one once in a while and it would make me feel better.
‐‐ Uma Thurman
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
‐‐ Meryl Streep
Motherhood has been an exercise in guilt.
‐‐ Felicity Huffman
Motherhood has brought me many joys and insights, but the new perspective it granted me on the role I had inadvertently played in young women's lives for the 2 decades I spent in the modeling industry was downright sobering.
‐‐ Carre Otis
Motherhood has changed me as a person. I'm much happier and very content with life. That can only transfer positively to the track. It will make me a better athlete.
‐‐ Jessica Ennis-Hill
Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about like the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had. I think that it puts you in your place because it really forces you to address the issues that you claim to believe in and if you can't stand up to those principles when you're raising a child, forget it.
‐‐ Diane Keaton
Motherhood has helped me to stop overanalyzing things. It's been liberating because I used to be somewhat neurotic. I attribute that to having something bigger than myself.
‐‐ Idina Menzel
Motherhood has made me a much better person. I see everything from a new perspective - with a sense of wonderment.
‐‐ Juhi Chawla
Motherhood has most definitely changed me and my life. It's so crazy how drastic even the small details change - in such an amazing way. Even silly things, like the fact that all of my pictures on my cell phone used to be of me at photo shoots - conceited, I know! - but now every single picture on my phone is of Mason.
‐‐ Kourtney Kardashian
Motherhood has relaxed me in many ways. You learn to deal with crisis. I've become a juggler, I suppose. It's all a big circus, and nobody who knows me believes I can manage, but sometimes I do.
‐‐ Jane Seymour
Motherhood has taught me the meaning of living in the moment and being at peace. Children don't think about yesterday, and they don't think about tomorrow. They just exist in the moment.
‐‐ Jessalyn Gilsig
Motherhood informs my work 100 per cent.
‐‐ Jessica Marais
Motherhood is a dream. It really is absolutely amazing.
‐‐ Jessica Simpson
Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.
‐‐ Charles Stanley
Motherhood is a joy! I have dreamed about being a mother since I was 12 years old, and there's nothing disappointing about it.
‐‐ Evangeline Lilly
Motherhood is an amazing feeling, and if you get to relive those special moments while working, it works as an icing on the cake. Kids have always been close to my heart, and working with them is a pleasure for me.
‐‐ Kajol
Motherhood is at its best when the tender chords of sympathy have been touched.
‐‐ Paul Harris
Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
‐‐ Gloria Estefan
Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women. It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits our Father gave us.
‐‐ Sheri L. Dew
Motherhood is nitty and gritty and brutal and wonderful, but everything I read is about the wonderful parts. Sometimes, you're really in the trenches!
‐‐ Constance Marie
Motherhood is not what was left over after our Father blessed His sons with priesthood ordination. It was the most ennobling endowment He could give His daughters, a sacred trust that gave women an unparalleled role in helping His children keep their second estate.
‐‐ Sheri L. Dew
Motherhood is priced Of God, at price no man may dare To lessen or misunderstand.
‐‐ Helen Hunt Jackson
Motherhood is so sentimentalised and romanticised in our culture. It's practically against the law to say there are moments in the day when you hate your children. Everyone actually has those moments.
‐‐ Barbara Kingsolver
Motherhood is such an evolving journey.
‐‐ Solange Knowles
Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing.

Motherhood is the most challenging as well as the utmost satisfying vocation in this world.
‐‐ Nita Ambani
Motherhood is the only thing in my life that I've really known for sure is something I wanted to do.
‐‐ Cynthia Nixon
Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one's own Trojan horse.
‐‐ Rebecca West
Motherhood is tough. If you just want a wonderful little creature to love, you can get a puppy.
‐‐ Barbara Walters
Motherhood is wonderful, but it's also hard work. It's the logistics more than anything. You discover you have reserves of energy you didn't know you had.
‐‐ Deborah Mailman
Motherhood runs its own way and is measured with another watch that, unfortunately, we can't control.
‐‐ Monica Cruz
Motherhood to me is something that I always wanted, but never quite knew how it was going to happen.
