"I have often felt that I cheated..." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“Some people are going to leave a mark on this world, while others will leave a stain.”

“No writing has any real value which is not the expression of genuine thought and feeling.”

“You do the things that need to be done according to priority.”

“All mothers are working mothers.”

“Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all.”

“I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man.”

“My son wouldn't go get heroin. If he did or didn't, it wouldn't have anything to do with whether it was legal or illegal.”

“Let us hope manufacturers can come up with a diaper that is environmentally sound. To go back to cloth would send us back to the day when breathing and raising a baby at the same time were incompatible.”

“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.”
