"Spend at least one Mother's Day with..." - Quote by Erma Bombeck

“I firmly believe kids don't want your understanding. They want your trust, your compassion, your blinding love and your car keys, but you try to understand them and you're in big trouble.”

“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, 'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I?' That's where courage comes in.”

“I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.”

“We were at a beach one summer, and I had a bathing suit on. My wife looked at me and said: 'Boy, you are skinny, aren't you?' I said: 'Honey, I'd like to remind you that it was minor defects like this that kept me from getting a better wife.'”

“I saw men whom thirty years had changed but slightly; but their wives had grown old. These were good women; it is very wearing to be good.”

“The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.”

“Friendship requires more time than poor busy men can usually command.”

“Wouldnt it be nice to be like men and get notches in your belt... and not get emotionally involved?”

“They knew now that if there is one thing one can always yearn for, and sometimes attain, it is human love.”
