Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table. That’s how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning, there was no rose. — Mitt Romney
My mother used to say, ‘He who angers you, conquers you!’ But my mother was a saint. — Elizabeth Kenny
The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly – indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection. — Arianna Huffington
“This is a very insulting tribute
But take it in good heart
Congratulations Mom and Dad
You’ve reached Silver together…apart
Lots of love etc” — John Walter Bratton
The mission statement of my company, Kathy Ireland Worldwide, is to find solutions for families, especially busy moms. I’m reaching out to busy moms because that’s what I am. That’s what I know, and I know this woman has been underserved. — Kathy Ireland
I trust my mom with anything. If I have a problem, my mom is always the first person I go to. — Richard Fleeshman
I’m very loyal in a relationship. Any relationship. When I go out with my mom, I don’t look at other moms and go, “I wonder what her macaroni and cheese tastes like.” — Garry Shandling
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry. — Bill Cosby
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. — Rajneesh
A mother has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. — Sophia Loren
A mother’s yearning feels the presence of the cherished child even in the degraded man. — George Eliot
A mother is the truest friend we have. — Washington Irving
In celebration of Mother’s Day yesterday, President Obama called three moms who had written him letters. Then kids who made their mom a macaroni necklace said, ‘Thanks, Obama.’ — Jimmy Fallon
People say you don’t need a father to be successful. I take offense to that. I had an argument with my mom about Father’s Day and why it’s not celebrated like Mother’s Day. — Dwight Howard
You never realize how much your mother loves you till you explore the attic – and find every letter you ever sent her, every finger painting, clay pot, bead necklace, Easter chicken, cardboard Santa Claus, paperlace Mother’s Day card and school report since day one. — Pam Brown
The person earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 isn’t going out to eat at restaurants. They’re not taking piano lessons. They’re not going to the gym or the yoga studio. They’re not sending mom flowers on Mother’s day. What good is this person in the economy? If you raise it to $15 an hour, they’re doing all of those things. And all of a sudden, not just business thrives, but small business thrives. — Nick Hanauer
If you sent me to cover a pie-baking contest on Mother’s Day, I’m going to ask dear old Mom why she used artificial sweetener or stole the apples! — Sam Donaldson
I hate Mother’s Day. If anything, it’s an affront to all women who think full-time moms have never worked a day in their lives. Which reminds me of a good joke: What do you call an angry feminist on Mother’s Day? You don’t. — Kimberly Guilfoyle
One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad. — Jim DeMint
Don’t listen to anyone’s advice. Listen to your baby … There are so many books, doctors, and well-meaning friends and family. We like to say, ‘You don’t need a book. Your baby is a book. Just pick it up and read it.’ — Mayim Bialik
I think in this world and this industry, if you let it, it does. And I feel that the people who don’t have good friends and family around them are the ones who get a little funny. But I’m very lucky. I have good friends and good family and if I ever stepped out of line, my mom would take me down! — Jeremy Irvine
Practice random acts of kindness… and watch Mom! — Sadie Calvano
All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysis and to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health. — Germaine Greer
These days we don’t have to fit into something other people think we are. We’ve leveled the playing field, life is inclusive. I’m a mom, sex detective, wife, fearless, gentle — we can now, with grace, be all of what we are. — Mariska Hargitay
The way my mom dressed was one of my earliest inspirations, in those ’80s suits with shoulder pads and things like that. For years, I ran away from that style. But now, all I want to do is shoulder pads and nipped-in waists and padded hips and peplums and poufed dresses. — Jason Wu
In Italy, especially in ’70s and ’80s, there was a lot of racism between north and south. And my mom immigrated from the south to the north, from Puglia, the heel of Italy. But what made me feel different was society, not my family. — Riccardo Tisci
I felt angry, frustrated. I felt I didn’t belong, not in my church, not in my home, not in my skin. Amidst the chaos, i felt alone, in need of a friend instead of a sister, someone detached from my world. The “woman’s role” theory disgusted me. I would soon be a woman, and I knew I could never perform as expected. I was tired of my mom’s submission to her religion, to her husband’s sick quest for an heir, to his abuse. I was sick of my dad, of reaching for him as he fell farther away from us and into the arms of Johnnie WB. — Ellen Hopkins
In middle school, my friends decided I was weird, and they didn’t like my hair. They ditched me and talked behind my back, which is cool — I’m over it. [laughs] One time I called them and said, “Hey, do you want to go to the Berkshire Mall?” They all gave me excuses and said no. So I go to the mall with my mom, and don’t you know, we run into all of them. Together. Shopping. My mom could see I was about to cry, so she said, “You know what? We’re going to the King of Prussia mall,” which was the mecca. — Taylor Swift
I never really have any major resolutions. I do try to be a good person, to be a good mom, to be a good wife, I don’t really start the year off on January 1, ‘Oh, I am now going to make a big change.’ I try every day when I wake up to be good to the people around me. — Heidi Klum
My mom didn’t teach me about Marco Polo. She didn’t teach me about Napoleon. She didn’t teach me about any of that. But she did teach me how to survive and to be a good person. And you need to be a strong woman to do that. She’s the biggest person in my life. She’s my Virgin Maria. That’s why I love religion so much. — Riccardo Tisci
Sometimes being a good mother gets in the way of being a good person. — Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey
When you get into this business you have to grow up quickly. But I wouldn’t say I’ve lost any of my childhood, I’ve always been a mature child. My Mom says I’ve been like that since I was little kid. I make time for my friends and I make time for things that other kids do. This is a business and I knew what I was getting into. I make time for being a kid, but I also know when to put on my business hat and go for the business. — Aaliyah
Being a kid, by the time I was three years old, my mom was married, divorced and had three kids; she was 19 – so, my brother’s just older than my mom. — Diamond Dallas Page
Affirming words from moms and dads are like light switches. Speak a word of affirmation at the right moment in a child’s life and it’s like lighting up a whole roomful of possibilities. — Gary Smalley
My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don’t put me in danger. — Casey Affleck
I’ve got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we’re super spiritual or we’ve got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won’t guarantee that they’ll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending. — Tullian Tchividjian
I have an amazing mother who’s a real tough cookie. She taught me not to get emotional about [sexism in Hollywood], just be really practical and objective. Later, in the privacy of my own home, maybe I’ll bawl or break some dishes, but you just have to keep going. It’s not about fighting, it’s about educating. — Zoe Saldana
My daily schedule is quite hectic, but I have to put my health first in order to be the best mom and wife I can be. — Ellen Pompeo
One of my mom’s best lines is… You’re not training to be the best in the world, you’re training to be the best in the world on your worst day. — Ronda Rousey
I guess for me, balance isn’t about treating your time like a pie chart and dividing it into equally sized slices for you, the kids, work, and so on. It’s about the quality of how you spend your time, not the quantity–are you being present and focused on whatever you’re doing while you’re doing it? I truly believe that’s how you can be the best version of yourself, whether you’re in work mode, mom mode, or wife mode. When I know I’m giving my undivided attention in each of these areas, I don’t feel so guilty about the time spent away from them. — Jessica Alba
When you become a parent you’re endlessly obsessed with chatting to other moms and learning how they make it work – keep all the balls in the air if you like – because we all want to know how to be the best mom that we possibly can be. — Tess Daly
I try so hard to be the best mom that I can be and usually I’m always thinking about how to better my son’s life. — Tamera Mowry
I get asked that a lot and I always go back to my mom’s, ‘No one has the right to beat you.’ I take that to every venue that I’m in. She would say, ‘Someone has to be the best in the world, why not you?’ I always try to keep that in mind. — Ronda Rousey
My husband and my children inspire me on a daily basis to be the best wife, mom, and woman I can be. — Candace Cameron
The best piece of advice that I have ever received is from my mom. And she said, “Do you, boo boo.” That is forever going to be the best advice. — Willow Smith
My youngest sister, Cindy, has Down syndrome, and I remember my mother spending hours and hours with her, teaching her to tie her shoelaces on her own, drilling multiplication tables with Cindy, practicing piano every day with her. No one expected Cindy to get a Ph.D.! But my mom wanted her to be the best she could be, within her limits. — Amy Chua
Being fit and being in the best shape that I can be helps me be the best mom as well. — Jennie Finch
When my wife and I met, I couldn’t talk to her – and my defense mechanism is sarcasm. I belittle someone with verbal pokes and prods. I did it to her out of complete awe. When friends introduced us, I said ‘Hi’ – and turned my back. Later, I called my mom and best friend and said, ‘I think I just met my wife.’ — Mike Vogel
Deep down, my mom had long suspected I was gay… Much of her anger and hurt came from her sense of betrayal that she was the last to be told. — Chaz Bono
My mom and dad passed away from cancer. Within nine months, I lost both of my folks. Immediately after that, I had a horrible betrayal where my brother, who worked for me, stole a lot of my money. He’s in jail now. — Dane Cook
My dad also survived five divorces, and the women he married cleaned his ass out every time. I used to think my dad got divorced because he wanted new furniture. At one point in my life, all we had left was a wooden box, a 12 black-and-white TV, and a four-man rubber raft for a couch. And yet, I was the coolest kid in third grade. Mom, can we have a sleepover in Christopher Titus’ house? They have a raft in the living room! We can row to breakfast in the morning. I can actually be Captain Crunch! — Christopher Titus
Mom did not want me to have anything to do with playing music. Being from a middle-class Black family in that particular era, everybody wanted you to have a profession — a doctor, a lawyer, and so forth. So she sent me to school to study medicine. — Don Alias
I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde. — Rita Ora
I used to hate being different. I used to cry. I wanted to be blonde-haired and blue-eyed like all of my girlfriends. My mom and dad would feel so badly – ‘No, it’s OK. You’ll be happy you’re different later. — Kiana Tom
Im married to a white man, and then my daughter came out looking like the whitest white child with blonde hair and blue eyes. And Im like, Omigosh, now what am I going to do? She has my moms features and is lighter than my husband. And my boy is browner than I am. Brown eyes and really tan. — Karyn Parsons
I was inspired a little while before The Voice to dye my hair half black half blonde by Cruella De Vil of 101 Dalmatians. One day I was watching it and I told my mom I was going to dye my hair like Cruella’s, and she thought I was joking. I came home from the salon, and she didn’t talk to me for a few days! — Melanie Martinez
Sadly I don’t sing. I missed it for a long time, but my daughter Emma said something wonderful when I was feeling blue one day: “Mom, you’ve just found a different way of using your voice, and that’s with your books.” In a way, she’s right. It’s just a different way of expressing what I feel about music, individuality, art and all the things I’ve always loved. — Julie Andrews
Truly 1 percent of this country serves and protects the freedoms of the other 99 percent of us, so many of us don’t have that connection. Fortunately, Jill Biden does. She’s a blue-star mom. Their son was in the National Guard – or is in the – in – is a Reservist. — Michelle Obama
[My mom’s] funny that way, celebrating special occasions with blue food. I think it’s her way of saying anything is possible. Percy can pass seventh grade. Waffles can be blue. Little miracles like that. — Rick Riordan
Mom had just gotten back from Sydney, and she had brought me an immense, surpassingly blue butterfly, Papilio ulysses, mounted in a frame filled with cotton. I would hold it close to my face, so close I couldn’t see anything but that blue. It would fill me with a feeling, a feeling I later tried to duplicate with alcohol and finally found again with Clare, a feeling of unity, oblivion, mindlessness in the best sense of the word. — Audrey Niffenegger
We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. I guess I should explain the blue food. See, Gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. They had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. But ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. She baked blue birthday cakes. She mixed blueberry smoothies. She bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop. — Rick Riordan
Have either of you seen your mother ” “Yeah ” Ethan said and my heart actually skipped a beat. But I should have known Ethan was joking. “Slim lady. Blue eyes and a gray pageboy ” he continued his eyes glistening in appreciation of his own humor. “Answers to the name ‘Mom’. — Rachel Vincent
As for the bracelet Mom wore to the funeral, what I did was I converted Dad’s last voice message into Morse code, and I used sky-blue beads for silence, maroon beads for breaks between letters, violet beads for breaks between words, and long and short pieces of string between the beads for long and short beeps, which are actually called blips, I think, or something. Dad would have known. — Jonathan Safran Foer
Kid 1: *examining my gorgeous strawberry and blueberry pies*: Wow, Mom, your pies don’t look awful this time. Me (Ilona): … ~A little later~ Kid 2: *wandering into the kitchen* Kid 1: Hey, you’ve got to see these pies. *opening the stove* Kid 2: Wow. They are not ugly this time. Kid 1: I know, right? — Ilona Andrews
My mom was the picture of the blue-collar mom: Two and three and four jobs to make sure that me and my sister never needed, that was her thing — Ne-Yo
I always have two bracelets on my right arm. One is a purple and white bracelet from a fan. I love it! I also wear a bracelet from a waterpark- I’ve had it on for two or three years. My mom says it’s pretty nasty, actually. But you’ll never see me without them ever! In magazine photos, the bracelets are sometimes airbrushed out, but viewers will always see me wearing them during scenes. — Miley Cyrus
My mother used to dress rather risqué when I was a kid, and that sort of shocked me. I always thought moms were supposed to wear cardigans and flats, but she was in leather bracelets and minidresses. In hindsight, I thought it was pretty cool, but I’m probably more conservative because of it. — Drew Barrymore
My mom cares that I tweeted a picture of my breakfast. She’s knows I’m eating and I’m safe. — Jack Dorsey
I never had, like, a nanny that took care of me. My mom always fed me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. — Miley Cyrus
I was at the breakfast table this morning and I read in the newspaper that more and more adults are living at home with their parents. That surprised me, I was like Mom did you read this? — Brian Regan
My mom just told me it’s impossible to know what’s going to happen in life. Except with breakfast, cause she eats the same thing every day. — Bob Saget
My problem is that my imagination won’t turn off. I wake up so excited I can’t eat breakfast. I’ve never run out of energy. It’s not like OPEC oil; I don’t worry about a premium going on my energy. It’s just always been there. I got it from my mom. — Steven Spielberg
As a mom, I understand how important it is to ensure kids start their day right and always make sure my kids have a nutritious breakfast. One in five U.S. children live in homes where food is not always available, which is why I partnered with Kellogg’s on their ‘Share Your Breakfast’ campaign, which provide breakfasts to kids in need. — Monica Potter
My mom is proud of me. But she might not be too happy about the hours I keep or how little I eat. I wake up so late that it would be inappropriate to have breakfast. At most, I will have a snack in the day and dinner. I realize that it’s not the healthiest way to live, but it’s all I really have time for. — Aaron Levie
[My dad] didn’t do much apart from the traditional winning of bread. He didn’t take me to get my hair cut or my teeth cleaned; he didn’t make the appointments. He didn’t shop for my clothes. He didn’t make my breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My mom did all of those things, and nobody ever told her when she did them that it made her a good mother. — Michael Chabon
Motherhood cannot finally be delegated. Breast-feeding may succumb to the bottle; cuddling, fondling, and paediatric visits may also be done by fathers…but when a child needs a mother to talk to, nobody else but a mother will do. — Erica Jong
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 13 and it was something we weren’t really aware of as a family. — Rima Fakih
My mom, she’s a breast cancer survivor and because of that I had started getting mammograms once a year, starting at age 30. — Kate Walsh
Anyone who has breast-fed knows two things for sure: The baby wants to be fed at the most inopportune times, in the most inopportune places, and the baby will prevail…. And so the baby should, and the mom, too. Sometimes a breast is a sexual object, and sometimes it’s a food delivery system, and one need not preclude nor color the other. — Anna Quindlen
I’m a huge breast cancer awareness advocate because my mom went through breast cancer recently. It really brought our family closer. — Brenda Song
I cannot forget my mother, She is my bridge. — Renita J. Weems
Every year my mom takes her 5th grade class on an outdoor education trip, and ever since I was born, I came with her. One thing I remember the most was this long, old rickety bridge held by two redwood trees. In order to get to the camp fire, you had to cross it. Each time I went across I made my brother carry me on his shoulders. It freaked me out sooooo much, even a little now when I think about it. — Zendaya
In my 20s, my mom and I went and saw the bridges of Madison County, which are in Iowa, and I had seen that movie with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. I’ve always done these Iowa road trips. I did this transcendental meditation course in Fairfield, Iowa. So I’ve known since my early 20s that someday I would buy a farm in Iowa. — Lissie
My parents both worked – my mom was an accountant, and my dad is a builder – and that taught me about having a really strong work ethic, and I respected them a lot for that. — Miranda Kerr
My mom shot and killed her last husband. Yeah, my dad used to say “Hey, dodged that bullet. Ha ha.” — Christopher Titus
Plus her mom was so awesome. She was strict about some things—don’t leave your socks lying around—but so not strict about other things, like calling the cops about my bullet wound. — James Patterson
Remember when you fell out of that tree on the farm when you were ten, and broke your arm? Remember how he made them let him ride with you in the ambulance on the way to the hospital? He kicked and yelled till they gave in.” “You laughed,” said Clary, remembering, “and my mom hit you in the shoulder.” “It was hard not to laugh. Determination like that in a 10-year-old is something to see. He was like a pit bull.” “If pit bulls wore glasses and were allergic to ragweed.” -Luke and Clary talking about Simon, pg.211- — Cassandra Clare
Percy: I thought I’d lost my mom forever, and I was stuck on a hill in a thunderstorm fighting this huge bull dude while Grover was passed out wailing. “Food!” It was terrifying, man. — Rick Riordan
The difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull: At some point, a pit bull does stop whining. — Bill Maher
Because your child is your first priority, your’re more selective, so in order to let someone into that world, they have to be really special. You cut out the bull – that you might fall for if you didn’t have responsibilities. — Helena Christensen
But to sustain a marriage for 50 years, you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says, ‘Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more’. — Ali Larter
We spend the first twelve months of our children’s lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up. — Phyllis Diller
I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them. — Phyllis Diller
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his. — Oscar Wilde
A mother is the truest friend we have when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity. — Washington Irving
Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love. — Stevie Wonder
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. — Rajneesh
Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all. — Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class. — Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. — Agatha Christie
Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother — Lin Yutang
Who is getting more pleasure from this rocking, the baby or me? — Nancy Thayer
It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge. — Phyllis Diller
A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive. — Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face. — George Eliot
A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them. — Victor Hugo
Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital ‘M’; she’s something sacred to me. I love her dearly…yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to. — Sophia Loren
To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow. — Maya Angelou
Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons. — Napoleon Bonaparte
It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn’t. — Barbara Kingsolver
[A] mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled. — Emily Dickinson
Motherhood is priced Of God, at price no man may dare To lessen or misunderstand. — Helen Hunt Jackson
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials. — Meryl Streep
Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to ‘jump at the sun.’ We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground. — Zora Neale Hurston
Mothers and their children are in a category all their own. There’s no bond so strong in the entire world. No love so instantaneous and forgiving. — Gail Tsukiyama
The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. — Mike Wallace
“This heart, my own dear mother, bends,
With love’s true instinct, back to thee!” — Thomas Moore
Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age. — William Feather
Becoming a mother makes you the mother of all children. From now on each wounded, abandoned, frightened child is yours. You live in the suffering mothers of every race and creed and weep with them. You long to comfort all who are desolate. — Charlotte Gray
I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me. — Antonio Villaraigosa
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. — Mark Twain
The only mothers it is safe to forget on Mother’s Day are the good ones. — Mignon McLaughlin
Mothers are all slightly insane. — J. D. Salinger
My mother is a walking miracle. — Leonardo DiCaprio
My mom is my hero. [She] inspired me to dream when I was a kid, so anytime anyone inspires you to dream, that’s gotta be your hero. — Tim McGraw
My mom is a hard worker. She puts her head down and she gets it done. And she finds a way to have fun. She always says, ‘Happiness is your own responsibility.’ That’s probably what I quote from her and live by the most. — Jennifer Garner
I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I’m more womanly. I feel sexier. — Reese Witherspoon
We used to sing along to Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald records together. She had the most amazing voice … She’s always encouraged me, and she’s still that person who, when things look dire, lifts me up and reminds me of who I am and that we all have a capacity for greatness. — Sheryl Crow
I don’t think of myself as a terribly confident person. But I have a survival mechanism that was instilled in me by my mother. — Naomi Watts

It’s been a huge joy, this experience of being a mom … I don’t know how to articulate it yet, because it is so fresh. — Claire Danes
[My favorite thing about motherhood is] that it’s made me grow into a woman finally, and I finally grew up, thank God. — Nicole Polizzi
She drove me to ballet class…and she took me to every audition. She’d be proud of me if I was still sitting in that seat or if I was watching from home. She believes in me and that’s why this [award] is for her. She’s a wonderful mother. — Elisabeth Moss
As my mom always said, ‘You’d rather have smile lines than frown lines.’ — Cindy Crawford

My mother has always been my emotional barometer and my guidance. I was lucky enough to get to have one woman who truly helped me through everything. — Emma Stone
~Sometimes, when I want to take on the world, I try to remember that it’s just as important to sit down and ask my son how he’s feeling or talk to him about life.~ — Angelina Jolie
Mother’s love is bliss, is peace, it need not be acquired, it need not be deserved. If it is there, it is like a blessing; if it is not there it is as if all the beauty had gone out of life. — Erich Fromm
I finally understand / for a woman it ain’t easy tryin to raise a man / You always was committed / A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it / There’s no way I can pay you back / But the plan is to show you that I understand / You are appreciated — Tupac Shakur
You sacrificed for us – you’re the real MVP. — Kevin Durant

Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me! — Lady Gaga
I see myself as mom first. I’m so lucky to have that role in life. The world can like me, hate me or fall apart around me and at least I wake up with my kids and I’m happy. — Angelina Jolie
I would say that my mother is the single biggest role model in my life, but that term doesn’t seem to encompass enough when I use it about her. She was the love of my life. — Mindy Kaling
Over the years, I learned so much from mom. She taught me about the importance of home and history and family and tradition. She also taught me that aging need not mean narrowing the scope of your activities and interests or a diminution of the great pleasures to be had in the everyday. — Martha Stewart
If I’ve learned anything as a mom with a daughter who’s three, I’ve learned that you cannot judge the way another person is raising their kid. Everybody is just doing the best they can. It’s hard to be a mom. — Maggie Gyllenhaal
[When] you’re dying laughing because your three-year-old made a fart joke, it doesn’t matter what else is going on. That’s real happiness. — Gwyneth Paltrow

You know all that sympathy that you feel for an abused child who suffers without a good mom or dad to love and care for them? Well, they don’t stay children forever.

You have a teacher talking about his gayness. (The elementary school student) goes home then and says “Mom! What’s gayness? We had a teacher talking about this today.” The mother says “Well, that’s when a man likes other men, and they don’t like girls.” The boy’s eight. He’s thinking, “Hmm. I don’t like girls. I like boys. Maybe I’m gay.” And you think, “Oh, that’s, that’s way out there. The kid isn’t gonna think that.” Are you kidding? That happens all the time. You don’t think that this is intentional, the message that’s being given to these kids? That’s child abuse. — Michele Bachmann

For me [being a kid actor], it’s a bit like when you see your mom’s friends, and they’re like, “I remember when you were this big. You’ll always be that cute little kid to me.” It’s like that times a thousand. Well, times a couple thousand. — Mara Wilson

I got a washed out version of Mom’s curls and a better copy of Dad’s blue eyes, The rest of me, I guess, is up for grabs. Except maybe Gran’s nose, but she could have been trying to make me feel better. I’m no prize. Most girls go through a gawky stage, but I’m beginning to think mine will be a lifelong thing.

In fact, since the accident, Mom doesn’t love anyone. She is marble. Beautiful. Frigid. Easily stained by her family. What’s left of us anyway. We are corpses. At first, we sought rebirth.

And sometimes we stagger beneath the weight of grief, the immensity of aloneness. — Ellen Hopkins
