William Wordsworth Quotes

My mother wanted to be a mother. That's the only thing she wanted from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want to be the number one actress - which she was - and she didn't want to be this great legend. All she wanted to be was a mother and she did but God took her away. So I always will empathise and sympathise with women.

I definitely don't want to have kids ... I don't think I'd be a great mother. I'm a great aunt or friend of a mother ... I don't want to spend that kind of time. I don't want to have a kid and have it raised by a nanny. I don't have time to raise a child.

I don't really have a plan. I've lived a very big life, and I don't feel my age, and I feel like I was born to be a mother.

No artist's masterpiece can match a mother's creation of a successful child, one who has been freed to explore and to grow. ... Success is measured not only by who we are, but by what gifts we give. As the old chief said, "The gift is not complete until it is given again." Ah, the mother whose gift to the world is a person !

Incivility is the extreme of pride; it is built on the contempt of mankind.

We women make choices for others, not for ourselves, and when we are mothers, we...bear what we must for our children. You will protect them. It will hurt you; it will hurt them. Your job is to hide that your heart is breaking and do what they need you to do.

I don't look at myself as a celebrity. People recognize me, but it's all about my music, my songs. It's not like I'm a greater being. I take my kids to school, pick them up, go to the grocery store. I'm a mother, and my kids mean more to me than even being an artist.

The pine is the mother of legends.

I'm just living my life and I’m being the best mother that I can and showing that on Teen Mom because that's what that show is about.

Being a parent is a huge part of who I am, and of course I share that with other women. I'm not just a business woman. I'm my sons' mother and my husband's wife - although I never post about him on social media because he'd probably divorce me if I did! But I think by showing who I am as a mom and as a business owner, I show other women that we're all balancing those two worlds.
