Best Quotes about Parents

1.
This is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it. Otherwise children would be nothing more than pets.
Heather Armstrong

2.
A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
Dorothy C. Fisher

3.
The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children.
Euripides

4.
It does not always follow that good men are good fathers.
Kathryn L. Nelson

5.
What children take from us, they giveàWe become people who feel more deeply, question more deeply, hurt more deeply, and love more deeply.
Sonia Taitz

6.
A mother only does her children harm if she makes them the only concern of her life.
W. Somerset Maugham

7.
For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.
Homer

8.
The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.
Jill Churchill

9.
The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one, particularly if he plays golf.
Bertrand Russell

10.
Sooner or later we all quote our mothers.
Bern Williams

11.
My parents only had one argument in forty-five years. It lasted forty-three years.
Cathy Ladman

12.
The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.
Elain Heffner

13.
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.
Charles Wadsworth

14.
The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.
Calvin Trillin

15.
Sometimes the laughter in mothering is the recognition of the ironies and absurdities. Sometime, though, it's just pure, unthinking delight.
Barbara Schapiro

16.
How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers'names.
Alice Walker

17.
My father hated radio and could not wait for television to be invented so he could hate that too.
Peter De Vries

18.
There's something unnatural about a woman finding babies or, more specifically, conversation about babies, boring. They'll think she's bitter, jealous, lonely. But she's also bored of everybody telling her how lucky she is, what with all that sleep and all that freedom and spare time, the ability to go on dates or head off to Paris at a moments notice. It sounds like they're consoling her, and she resents this and feels patronized by it.
David Nicholls

19.
It's interesting, on your second day of existence, to realize that your father is going to blame all the future failures of his life on you.
Josh Lieb

20.
ThatÆs sort of a clichÚ about parents. We all believe that our children are the most beautiful children in the world. But the thing is, what no one really talks about is the fact that we all really believe it.
Heather Armstrong

21.
Call home at least once a week. It's a proven fact that we call home less the older we get. And that's wrong. It should be the other way around. As we get older, our parents get older.
Randy Pausch

22.
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
Mark Twain

23.
Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.
Ogden Nash

24.
Most turkeys taste better the day after; my mother's tasted better the day before.
Rita Rudner

25.
Some men just aren't cut out for paternity. Better they should realize it before and not after they become responsible for a son.
Lois McMaster Bujold

26.
The central struggle of parenthood is to let our hopes for our children outweigh our fears.
Ellen Goodman

27.
Neurotics build castles in the air, psychotics live in them. My mother cleans them.
Rita Rudner

28.
Your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life.
Chuck Palahniuk

29.
Parents are never as bad as kids think they are.
Matt Witten

30.
Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same.
Pearl Buck

31.
There isànothing to suggest that mothering cannot be shared by several people.
H. R. Schaffer

32.
The world is full of women blindsided by the unceasing demands of motherhood, still flabbergasted by how a job can be terrific and torturous.
Anna Quindlen
