Wise Words

Throughout the years my family and friends have seen to it that I have the most cherished of gifts in words, by giving me quote books. Which I love, thank you to all have contributed to my library. So I thought I would share some of my favorites with you for Mother's Day, I hope you enjoy...

It will be gone before you know it. The fingerprints on the wall appear higher and higher. Then suddenly they disappear.
Dorthy Evslin

Children and mothers never truly part-Bound in the beating of each other's heart.
Charlotte Gray

A mother laughs our laughter, Sheds our tears, Returns our love, Fears our fears,
She lives our joys, Cares our cares, And all our hopes and dreams she shares.
Julia Summers

Before becoming a mother I had a hundred theories on how to bring up children.
Now I have seven sheldren and only one theory, love them, especially when they least deserve to be loved.
Kate Samperi


Every so often, invite the person in line behind you to go ahead of you.

Learn to make something beautiful with your hands.

Work in a garden.

Lie on your back and look at the stars.

Understand that happiness is not based on possessions, power, or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.

DON'T POSTPONE JOY.

Pray for an enemy.

Own a cowboy hat.

Sing loud in the car, especially if your children are with you to sing along.

A woman's work is never done-especially if she asks her husband to do it.

A wise man thinks what he says; a fool says what he thinks.

Do it now! Today will be yesterday tomorrow.

We ask God to provide for our needs, and when he does, we congratulate ourselves on our ability and cleverness.

Hardening of the heart ages people more quickly than hardening of the arteries.


May you never take one single breath for granted, God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed, but if it does, may it leave you patient and stronger, willing and wiser, tender and tougher.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance. I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance, living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking.
Lee Ann Womack (I Hope You Dance)


Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and
good and worthwhile things.

Parents and children, teach and learn goodness together, work together, read good books together, pray together.

Just take things one day at a time, otherwise you'll be overwhelmed.

Children are the promise of the future, the assurance of greater things to come.

Walk in integrity; in storm and sunshine, be faithful; in richness or in poverty, be faithful; in youth or old age, be faithful. Hold out until the end and God will bless you and crown your days with sweetness, and peace, and love.

President Gordon B. Hinckley

Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
