In Honor of Mothers’ Day, I present
THIRTEEN QUOTES ABOUT MOTHERS
(1) “When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.”
~Sophia Loren~
(2)Â “Mother: that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.”
~T. DeWitt Talmage~
(3)Â “You don’t really understand human nature, unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around, and why his parents will always wave back.”
~William D. Tammeus~
(4) “My mom is a never ending song in my heart
of comfort,
happiness,
and being.
I may sometimes forget the words
but I always remember the tune.”~Gaycie Harmon~
(5)Â “A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.”
~Tenneva Jordan~
(6)Â “Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.”~George Cooper~
(7)Â “All mothers are working mothers.”
~Author Unknown~
(8) 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~
(9) “Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.”
~Marion C. Garretty~
(10)Â “Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.”
~Oprah Winfrey~
(11)Â “A man’s work is from sun to sun,
but a mother’s work is never done.”
~Author Unknown~
(12) “It would seem that something that means poverty, disorder and violence every single day, should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge.”
~Phyllis Diller~
(13) “God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.”
~Jewish Proverb~

This brought a tear to my eye, as I lost my mum last year. Still, I love the quotes. The apply to her in so many ways!
I listed 13 favourite food / snacks this week.

This is a great list to lead up into Mother’s Day …
#7 is my fave, because it is so true, must have been a Mom who coined it .. 
Happy TT, and have a great rest of the week!

Thursday Thirteen: Great Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day…
I personally LOVE to get personalized gifts gifts. They make me feel special. It’s not the price of the gift that counts, but the sincerity of the giver. Love is something money can’t buy. An expensive gift can be meaningless if it doesn&…

Beautiful quotes. I have a sneaking suspicion that moms will be the topic of many TT’s this week. I know it’s 1/2 of mine

The spirit of Mother’s Day…
Great quotes…
My TT is somehow related to Mother’s Day, too…
May 10th, 2007 at 6:53 am
all those are lovely. I am in particular agreement with #10 by Oprah! That is oh sooo true!
May 10th, 2007 at 7:29 am
What wonderful quotes. The Phyllis Diller one made me laugh.
I agree with Joan, we were all three blessed with good mothers!
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

These are great — though I never liked #13, though I know what it’s trying to say.
I think I like #3, 7, and 8 the best.
May 10th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Great idea for a list!
May 10th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
BTW, Carol, feel free to use my recipe for “Tres Leche” in the family cookbook. I got the recipe from a Betty Crocker newsletter so it is not original.

Nice list, my TT is also in honor of Mother’s Day and my Mamacita! Hope you can visit my TT!

I’ve got a mother. And that’s NOT half a word. She’s great!

I’m reading this on Mother’s Day, and enjoying it very much. I always thank my children for making me a Mom.
