When you are looking at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.

Mothers are like glue. Even when you can’t see them, they’re still holding the family together.

Mother: She is beautiful, softened at the edges, and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.

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

The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation.

It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?

There is no role in life that is more essential than that of motherhood

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.

Motherhood is the exquisite inconvenience of being another person’s everything.

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

My mother was my role model before I even knew what that word was.

To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power.

Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It’s huge and scary – it’s an act of infinite optimism.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

We kill all the caterpillars, then complain there are no butterflies.

It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.

Ignorance is the parent of fear.

Travel brings wisdom only to the wise. It renders the ignorant more ignorant than ever.

If ignorance is bliss, there should be more happy people.

Living is easy with eyes closed.

Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.

Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks.
