Born of woman, nourished by woman, wedded to woman, why do they revile woman? …. Why revile her that gives birth to kings amongst men
Head of the Sikh Religion
There is more excitement, more amazement when a first is born. No subsequent babies can have that impact.
The day we were born, we were all God's children.
You know being born is important to you. You know nothing else was ever so important to you.
No birth is an accident, No experience is without meaning, and no life is without value.
Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home.
Birth is a shadow. Courage, self-sustained, outlords succession's phlegm, and needs no ancestors.
I've never really understood attachment to a place for reasons of birth. That my mother happened to give birth to me in a certain place doesn't, to my mind, justify any thankfulness towards that place. It could have been anywhere.
You can only have one first born child. You may love all your children deeply and with passion, but there is something unique about the first born.
A society that places a low value on its mothers and the process of birth will suffer an array of negative repercussions for doing so. Good beginnings make a positive difference in the world, so it is worth our while to provide the best possible care for mothers and babies throughout this extraordinarily influential part of life.
