I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom.

Postpartum depression is a very real and very serious problem for many mothers. It can happen to a first time mom or a veteran mother. It can occur a few days... or a few months after childbirth.

Mothers send strips to daughters to make a point. Daughters smack strips down on the breakfast table to make a point. My own mom sometimes cuts a strip out and sends it to me to make sure I understand her.

My parents are wonderful and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person. She goes completely on her feelings of things on her intuition and so she instilled that in my brothers and I.

I think while all mothers deal with feelings of guilt working mothers are plagued by guilt on steroids!

Mothers don't let your daughters grow up to be models unless you're present.

It's the moms of this nation - single married widowed - who really hold this country together. We're the mothers we're the wives we're the grandmothers we're the big sisters we're the little sisters we're the daughters. You know it's true don't you? You're the ones who always have to do a little more.

The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good thing they didn't have that rule when Jesus was born.

Mothers are the necessity of invention.

What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?

How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are we must know our mothers names.

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children you're thinking about working.

I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet there would be no more wars.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

We do not want the men of another color for our brothers-in-law but we do want them for our brothers.

Such is the nature of men that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.

If all men knew what others say of them there would not be four friends in the world.
