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 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

  • Mothering is a very absorbing occupation when little people in a household multiply, and how well a woman handles those demands depends on her sense of personhood. -Gladys M. Hunt.
  • 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

  • There are few jobs, if any, that carry as much significance as that of being a mother. - Dick Innes

High Road Leaders Want More For You Than From You | MWM
Share The High Road With Others = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses the twelve qualities of a high road leader. Learning and adopting these qualities will help young leaders grow into the best leaders they can be. High road leaders desire the best for others. Mentoring others and giving them a picture of what a high road leader looks like is one of the best gifts you can give.

A Leader’s Lasting Value is Measured by Succession | MWM
Extend Your Legacy = In his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell discusses the Law of Legacy, which says that a leader’s lasting value is measured by succession. If you want your leadership and legacy to be long-lasting, you need to hand the baton on to someone else to follow in your footsteps. Look around … Who will you hand your baton to?



What Legacy Are You Leaving? | MWM






Start today determining what you believe, what you want to be known for, what you want to show the world you stand for, and then take action to build that legacy. Don’t let someone else decide your legacy for you, live it out the way you want to.



A legacy doesn’t necessarily fall in your lap; it doesn’t choose you, you get to choose it. Start today determining what you believe, what you want to be known for, what you want to show the world you stand for, and then take action to build that legacy. Don’t wait until the end of your life—don’t let someone else decide your legacy for you as they’re busy planning your funeral. You have the rest of your life to live out your legacy now.



Every person leaves some kind of legacy, whether positive or negative. I believe we have a choice about the legacy we’ll leave, and we have to be intentional to leave the legacy we want.

The most important first step is knowing the legacy you want to leave. Most people accept their lives, but they don’t lead them. Being proactive and intentional about how to live is important to leaders. It’s influential.

Those that travel the high road, give more than they take. Low road leaders take more than they give. Middle road leaders give equal to what they receive. High road leaders know people are valuable, and if you are a plus in the lives of others, they will come to you with love and you will have an increased influence on them.

Bible Quotes

Quotes About the Bible
  • The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.  Patrick Henry
  • Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.  William Blake
  • First, open your heart, then open your Bible.  Rick Warren
  • The Bible tells us to forgive our enemies, not our friends  Margot Asquith
  • The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.  Joni Eareckson Tada
  • God has spoken through His word. God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind. Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you. It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.
  • All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible. ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1809-1865)
  • Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years. Charles H. Spurgeon 
  • A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t. -- Charles H. Spurgeon
  • The Bible applied to the heart by the Holy Spirit, is the chief means by which men are built up and established in the faith, after their conversion. J. C. Ryle 
  • The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress. Billy Graham
  • The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries. --RENE DESCARTES
  • It's not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that trouble me, it's the parts I do. - Mark Twain 
  • Daniel Webster, on June 17, 1843, at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charleston, Massachusetts, spoke these stirring words about our forefathers' reverence for the Bible: The Bible came with them. And it is not to be doubted, that to free and universal reading of the Bible, in that age, men were much indebted for right views of civil liberty. The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of special revelation from God; but it is also a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility, his own dignity, and his equality with his fellow-man.
















The Book That Taught John Maxwell Everything About Leadership | MWM
The Bible Teaches Leadership = The Bible is the greatest book ever written. It speaks to us where we live. We can learn everything we need to know about leadership from the Bible. 




The Proverb Challenge = John sets forth the Proverb Challenge—to spend one month reading one proverb per day, 31 proverbs in total. In that month, if you get a good business, life, leadership, or relationship thought—you will have developed more ideas and principles than before. It will change your life.

Scriptures
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
Hebrews 4:12 ESV For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Psalm 19:7-11 ESV The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.

Galatians 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
Hebrews 11:3 (MSG) By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.

Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11 Faith in Action Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ...
