Mommies

I guess I'm going for some sort of a record today with a fourth post.  I've been waiting to get my computer back for so long that I had a bunch to share.  I know it hasn't quite been a month since my last post of quotes, but I'm going to get this next batch out since Paxton's napping and it's craptastic outside and I'm putting off cleaning my house ... there's always tomorrow, right?  Without further ado, here are my favorites from March.

"A good mother is worth a hundred schoolmasters." - George Herbert (This one reminds me of the movie "Glory Road."  (If you haven't seen it, you should 'cuz it's really good.)  One of the players isn't doing too well in his college courses, so the coach calls the player's Mom to whip him into shape.  So awesome!)

"If you would reform the world from its errors and vices, begin by enlisting the mothers." - C. Simmons

"The mother is and must be - whether she knows it or not - the greatest, strongest, and most lasting teacher her children have." - Hannah Whitall Smith

"A mother once asked a clergyman when she should begin the education of her child ... "Madam," was the reply ... "From the very first smile that gleams over an infant's cheek, your opportunity begins." - Richard Whately

"The successful mother, the mother who does her part in rearing and training aright the boys and girls who are to be the men and women of the next generation, is of greater use to the community ... She is more important by far than the successful statesman or businessman or artist or scientist." - Theodore Roosevelt

"Thank You, God, for pretending not to notice that one of your angels is missing and for guiding her to me.  Sometimes I wonder what special name you had for her.  I call her "Mother." - Bernice Maddux

"A mother ... fills a place so great that there isn't an angel in heaven who wouldn't be glad to give a bushel of diamonds to come down here and take her place." - Billy Sunday

"Many a man has kept straight because his mother bent her knees." - Author Unknown

And since last month's Mom quotes were sans picture due to the uncooperativeness of my computer, I'm adding more than one this time (in no particular order).  I did steal some of these from my friends, so Friends, if you want me to remove your pictures, let me know and I will do so : )
