Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

In search of my mother's garden I found my own.

Healthy children are born from healthy respected well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.

I can count all the ways in which being a mother has enriched my understanding of the world of character my sense of the future and my attachment to it. I can't imagine what kind of writer I'd be if I didn't have my kids.

No one is going to try to fill my mother's shoes what she did was fantastic. It's about making your own future and your own destiny and Kate will do a very good job of that.

Only mothers can think of the future - because they give birth to it in their children.

To me the black black woman is our essential mother the blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair almost entirely of our future as a people.

Girls are the future mothers of our society and it is important that we focus on their well-being.

A mother's happiness is like a beacon lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

I'm one of those hovering mothers and I know it's really important to have an independent child so I'm trying to back off but it's hard. I love him so much and he's so funny and cute to me.
