"A family of ten children will be..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Her form, though not so correct as her sister's, in having the advantage of height, was more striking; and her face was so lovely, that when in the common cant of praise she was called a beautiful girl, truth was less violently outraged than usually happens.”

“A persuadable temper might sometimes be as much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character.”

“The worst crimes; are the crimes of the heart”

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.”

“What least makes a mother is biology.”

“No matter how old you get, hug and kiss your mother whenever you greet her.”

“Kindness to children, love for children, goodness to children-- these are the only investments that never fail.”

“A child can go only so far in life without potty training. It is not mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators.”

“Train children not by compulsion but as if they were playing.”
