"I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older."
"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."
George Washington 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"My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it."
Mark Twain on Mom"Men are what their mothers made them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson on Mom"My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso."
Pablo Picasso on Mom"In my life I've learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we're all searching for. I haven't come across anyone who didn't become a better person through love."
"I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose.

"The reason most of the children are having problems in any inner-city neighborhood is because they don't see enough positive role models in their own environment."
