Motherhood is at its best when the tender chords of sympathy have been touched.

Motherhood is the strangest thing it can be like being one's own Trojan horse.

Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out about a century ago that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent.

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.

When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning not the result of ignorance or accident its children will become the foundation of a new race.

It is only in the act of nursing that a woman realizes her motherhood in visible and tangible fashion it is a joy of every moment.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

Completeness? Happiness? These words don't come close to describing my emotions. There truly is nothing I can say to capture what motherhood means to me particularly given my medical history.

Motherhood is a great honor and privilege yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers or preparing meals moms continuously put others before themselves.

Motherhood is priced Of God at price no man may dare To lessen or misunderstand.

I think with motherhood and child-rearing in general everyone's going to tell you how to do it and why. I've always said to other mothers and women when they've asked me that you have to find your own way and find out what works for your family at all costs.

Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about like the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had. I think that it puts you in your place because it really forces you to address the issues that you claim to believe in and if you can't stand up to those principles when you're raising a child forget it.

Until women learn to want economic independence and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood it seems to me feminism has no roots.

Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.

The art of motherhood involves much silent unobtrusive self-denial an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.

Motherhood is a dream. It really is absolutely amazing.
