Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

I always tried to do the best for my kid.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences... everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving - she's better than me.

My mom sacrificed a lot for me.

I would die for my kids. I love my kids - they're my life - and I love them more than anything I've ever known.

I love my kids more than anything. I love them more than me in some ways.

It's come at last," she thought, "the time when you can no longer stand between your children and heartache. When there wasn't enough food in the house you pretended that you weren't hungry so they could have more. In the cold of a winter's night you got up and put your blanket on their bed so they wouldn't be cold. You'd kill anyone who tried to harm them - I tried my best to kill that man in the hallway. Then one sunny day, they walk out in all innocence and they walk right into the grief that you'd give your life to spare them from.

The hand of a bride becomes the hand of a mother. Ever so gently she cares for her precious child. Bathing, dressing, feeding, comforting-there is no hand like mother's. Nor does its tender care diminish through the years.

We must feel toward our people as a father toward his children; yea, the most tender love of a mother must not surpass ours. We must even travail in birth, till Christ be formed in them. They should see that we care for no outward thing, neither liberty, nor honor, nor life, in comparison to their salvation... When the people see that you truly love them, they will hear anything from you...Oh therefore, see that you feel a tender love for your people in your hearts, and let them perceive it in your speech and conduct. Let them see that you spend and are spent for their sakes.

Motherly love - putting the care of children before every other consideration - is the ultimate intelligence of nature.

Most of us love a non-self, or something extrinsic and apart from our inner life; but a mother's love during the time she is a flesh-and-blood ciborium is not for a non-self but for one that is her very self, a perfect example of charity and love which hardly perceives a separation. Motherhood then becomes a kind of priesthood. She brings God to man by preparing the flesh in which the soul will be implanted; she brings man to God in offering the child back again to the Creator.

A mother's yearning feels the presence of the cherished child even in the degraded man.

There is no love like a mother’s - she who carries the child that God knits in the womb, she who nourishes and guides, she who teaches and inspires, she who gives of her heart and soul and self for the good and the happiness of her children and her family.

Nothing outside of my child is important.

My mother taught me how to love. My mom is the most loving person I know.

Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves.

My mother would do anything for her children. And that's how I am too.

Aristotle uses a mother's love for her child as the prime example of love or friendship.

Mildred Pierce was capable of great acts of love as a mother.

There’s an old Arab saying … Let one hundred mothers cry, but not my mother – but better my mother than me.

I think that, being a mother, you would do anything for your children. Their pain is your pain; if they're in pain, you feel their pain.

My mom would walk through a fire pit for me, and I'd do the same for her.

My mom is the most amazing woman ever. She grew up a single mom raising five kids, and she's always told me to follow my dreams. One thing I've learned about her is she sacrificed her whole life for me to focus on my dream, and I cannot wait to do that for my kids.

While my mom was flawed - as we all are - she loved her children more than anything in the world.

She used to drive me to clubs for engagements and when I was 16 I got a job presenting a TV show in Newcastle. My mum didn't really like driving, but she carried on. Once I remember we got stuck in a snow storm, but she carried on to get me there in time. She was an amazing, incredible person.

My mom is really dedicated to me. She drives me to school and skating, wakes up for me, and I'm just really appreciative.
