A babe at the breast is as much pleasure as the bearing is pain.

The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.

We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.

Success took me to her bosom like a maternal boa constrictor.

To be a mother is a magical experience. The whole body is transformed by this.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

All mothers go through the exact same things.

The birth mother is placing the baby out of love. I still believe that. Well, the ones we've dealt with who were actually pregnant, anyway.

What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.
