- Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent.
- Barbara Ehrenreich on Mom
- Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.
- Christina Aguilera on Mom
- That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.
- Lauryn Hill on Mom
- That's a big deal for kids, when they come into the kitchen and the teacher is drinking coffee with mom. They react differently on the next day when you say: 'Sit down and shut-up!'
- Ed O'Neill on Mom
- That's the hardest thing about being a mom. You want to be cool, and you want them to like you all the time, but you can't always have that. You're gonna have times where you have to say no, and you won't be the most popular person in the house.
- Martina McBride on Mom
- The 'believe' tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe.
- Ashley Tisdale on Mom
- The best situation is being a single parent. The best part about is that you get time off, too, because the kids are with their mom, so it's the best of both worlds. There's a lot to be said for it.
- Larry David on Mom
- The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.
- Kate Bosworth on Mom
- The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly - indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.
- Arianna Huffington on Mom
- The first few weeks of being a mom were profound, not just emotionally but also, physically. All the changes you instinctually go through are miraculous.
- Alyssa Milano on Mom
- The golden child may be the oldest one, unless it's the youngest. It may be the toughest one, unless it's the most sensitive. It's not even necessary that Mom and Dad have the same favorite - and typically they don't.
- Jeffrey Kluger on Mom
- The man in our society is the breadwinner the woman has enough to do as the homemaker, wife and mother.
- Dorothy Fields on Mom
- The military infrastructure grew me. My faith in God is important, my belief in my country is important, my relationship to my family is important, the things that Mom and Dad tell you growing up are important.
- Tommy Franks on Mom
- The most important thing in my father's life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.
- Sean Lennon on Mom
- The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.
- Henry Ward Beecher on Mom
- The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
- Erich Fromm on Mom
- The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.
- Jessica Lange on Mom
- The one thing my mom will let me get is a nice shoe sometimes.
- Chloe Moretz on Mom
- The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.
- Mike Krzyzewski on Mom
- The problem with me is, anything that's easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I'm 14 - my mom is super-strict about that.
- Chloe Moretz on Mom
- The real beauty of it - key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing.
- Vince Gill on Mom
- The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent, asking if it was OK for this interracial family - my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid - to live in the apartment building.
- Tom Morello on Mom
- The relationship between Cathy and Mom in the strip is the one relationship drawn from real life that I have proudly never even tried to disguise.
- Cathy Guisewite on Mom
- The rule with my mom was that the only way that I could be an actress when I was young was that I continued to go to public school and get straight A's in all my classes.
- Sara Paxton on Mom
- The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good thing they didn't have that rule when Jesus was born.
- Elayne Boosler on Mom
- The woman is uniformly sacrificed to the wife and mother.
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton on Mom
- Then you've got Georgetown, and I really just like everything about them. When I went down there with my mom, it really opened my eyes to what they were all about. I have to factor in what a school like that can do for me, even away from being a basketball player.
- Nerlens Noel on Mom
- There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work.
- Tori Spelling on Mom
- There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.

- Kate Walsh on Mom
- There are only two things a child will share willingly communicable diseases and its mother's age.

- Marlee Matlin on Mom
- There is nothing I love more than my role as a mom.
- Jennifer Hudson on Mom
- There is nothing like becoming a mom to fill you with fear.
- Arianna Huffington on Mom
- There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You're embarrassed by your parents, and you're trying to find your independance because, deep inside, you are so dependent on your mom.
- Ben Affleck on Mom
- There was a point - when I was a kid - where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am.
- Chaske Spencer on Mom
- There's a book called 'The Shack' - it had a lot to do with me coming full circle, meeting my birth mother. Awhile back, my birth mom and my adopted mom came to my show together, and it was pretty surreal.
- Rodney Atkins on Mom
- There's been times when I've had heartbreaking moments and I'm like, 'I can't believe you said that,' or 'I can't believe you did that'. And it hurts, it still hurts, and it'll always hurt, but I've never had somebody that I truly cared about just walk out on me, whether it was a boyfriend, or an aunt, mom or dad.
- Shailene Woodley on Mom
- These days it's cool to be ethnic and to be different, but when I was a kid, it was not cool - at all. My friends would come over and my mom would make crepes with eggs, stuffed with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and spinach. And they'd be like, 'What is this?'
- Giada De Laurentiis on Mom
- They see me as being this Super Mom on TV who also can more than handle a difficult husband, and they assume I'm going to be just full of wisdom as a mother and wife myself.
- Patricia Richardson on Mom
- They very seldom let me lose my cool. They made me like I was Polly Perfect, which was ridiculous so that when I bump into kids on the street they'd say 'I wish my Mom were like you.'
- Charlotte Rae on Mom
- They wrapped her up like a baby burrito to show to Mom. Here were a mother and her daughter and I love them both so much. I couldn't wait for Courtney to come to the hospital so I could have all my women together.
- This is the place where anybody - like an African American kid raised by a single mom - can be president.
- Jennifer M. Granholm on Mom
- Throughout my life, my mom has been the person that I've always looked up to.
- Mike Krzyzewski on Mom
- To this day, my mom's unsinkable spirit is an inspiration to me. For nearly thirty years, she's worked at the Library of Congress. Everyone knows Sameha simply as 'Sami.' Along with 500 miles of shelved books, her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself.
- Trying to be Supermom is as futile as trying to be Perfect Mom. Not going to happen.
- Arianna Huffington on Mom
- Two weeks ago at the U.S. Amateur, my mom caddied, and that is kind of a different feeling, because she's your mom and you have to listen to her. It was really comfortable having my mom there, but it's also really relieving and comfortable to have someone that knows the course off their hat, really.
