" The noblest calling in the world is that of a Mother. Motherhood is the most beautiful of all the arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who bears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give." David O. McKay
" My Mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it." Mark Twain
"Always be nice to your children because they will choose your rest home." Phyllis Diller
" A little boy forgot his lines in a Sunday school program. His Mother was in the front row to prompt him. She gestured and formed the words silently with her lips, but it did not help. Her son's memory was blank. Finally, she leaned forward and whispered the clue, "I am the Light of the world". The child beamed and with great feeling and a loud clear voice said, " My Mother is the light of the world."
" My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We cant decide whether to ruin our carpets or ruin our lives." Rita Rudner
For two solid hours, the lady sitting next to a man on an airplane had told him about her grandchildren. She had even produced a plastic foldout album of all nine children. She finally realized that she had dominated the entire conversation on her grandchildren. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I know you certainly have something to say. Please,tell me.... what do you think of my grandchildren?"
I absolutely love being a daughter,sister,wife,mother and grandmother. These are the roles I have chosen in the theater of life, and although I don't deserve an academy award,the performance for me, has been unforgettable!! Have a wonderful Mothers day, all you wonderful Mothers!
