MOM / Mother Day Quotes

Quotes About Mother

  • . . . many in today's world are attempting to communicate that having children, being a wife and mother can never lead to fulfillment. This, of course, is in direct contradiction to the Scriptures and it runs counter to God's principles. - Gene Getz
  • A suburban mother's role is to deliver children - obstetrically once and by car forever after. - Peter De Vries.
  • A woman, who creates and sustains a home, and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second only to God. - Helen Hunt Jackson.
  • All mothers are rich when they love their children. There are no poor mothers, no ugly ones, no old ones. Their love is always the most beautiful of joys. -- Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949) Novelist and essayist
  • All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. - Abraham Lincoln
  • Children turn into people. They speak rationally if aloofly, lecture you on your manners, condescend to teach you about eclectic criticism, and inclined to get married. And there you are, left with all that learning you have so painfully accumulated in twenty-odd years and with no more progeny on whom to lavish it. - Phyllis McGinley
  • It is . . . sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being. - Joseph Wood Krutch

  • One of the easiest traps for a mother to fall into is that of over-caring for her family to the exclusion of outsiders. To take care of your family is, in itself, a good thing. But it falls far short of God's love, because it can quickly become an exclusive kind of love. - Eugenia Price.
  • She had listened to nothing, but mothers hear certain things without listening. -- Victor Hugo
  • Sooner or later we all quote our mothers. -- Bern Williams
  • The heart of a Mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you always find forgiveness. -- Honore de Balzac
  • The mother who listens to all the unfunny 'knock-knock' jokes and the vivid description of the student who threw up in the lunchroom is the same mother who will be listening as her teenager tells her about his classmates who are trying marijuana and going to motels. - Sandra Humphrey
  • The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and in a sense tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent. - Erich Fromm
  • The phrase 'working mother' is redundant. -- Jane  Sellman
  • There are few jobs, if any, that carry as much significance as that of being a mother. - Dick Innes

Adequate Quotes

Quotes About Adequate

MWM | Adequate
Go Beyond Average = Adequate means to be average or lukewarm. Are you settling to be adequate? You were not born and created to be adequate. You were born to be exceptional.


Give Just a Little Extra Today
Commit To Rising Above = No one wants to be average—stuck in the middle. View being average as something to conquer and rise above. Today, if you consider yourself average, do something above average. Wherever you are in life, increase the positives of who you are by doing a little extra.



https://youtu.be/unbzOVDg2Sc
Go Beyond Adequate, Be Exceptional = The word adequate is often paired with average, and people often decide to be adequate in life. So many people settle for adequate, and learn to exist with this state. We were not born and created to be adequate, we were born to be exceptional. Go beyond adequate, it is a better way to live. 


https://youtu.be/aElBLFJzL9s


This belongs with average - it's simply existing. Do more, be more, and strive for better.

It’s Not What Happens TO You; It’s What Happens IN You | MWM
https://youtu.be/b5H_i8ilJC0
Have A Positive Attitude = Attitude is everything. It is important to have a great attitude about yourself, other people, and life. It isn’t what happens to you, but what happens in you. If you can find the bright side of things in tough situations, keeping a positive attitude, you will be capable of happiness in any circumstance.
#Dad #Attitude #Happy



Happiness is Not About What Happens TO Us, But IN Us
Have A Great Attitude = Attitude is everything. It is important to have a great attitude about yourself, other people, and life. It isn’t what happens to you, but what happens in you. If you can find the bright side of things in tough situations, keeping a positive attitude, you will be capable of happiness in any circumstance.

Seek Happiness, Find Disappointment; Seek Value, Find Happiness
https://youtu.be/nRttDvLAhr0
Seek Value = True happiness comes from a deep inner satisfaction and knowledge that we are good people with good values, doing our best to make a difference in life. That is a happiness that doesn’t leave when the mood changes. If you seek happiness, it will often disappoint or disappear … But if you seek value, by adding value to people and making a positive difference, happiness will come to you.


https://youtu.be/qYpShyvXr9w
An Important Choice = Happiness starts with you. That's the key! You have the choice to decide how you will start each day, interact with those around you, and most importantly be for yourself. 




Happiness Is an Inside Job = Happiness cannot be acquired. Often, people set out to pursue happiness in a spouse, a friend, a job, a family, a home, a title or a whole lot of money. But happiness isn’t “out there.” Happiness starts inside of you. It is a gift you can give to yourself.
