20 of Our Favourite Quotes for Parents

Today we put the spotlight on 20 of our favourite quotes for, or about, parents and parenting. Each one of them either inspired, amused or resonated with us in some way — we are parents ourselves. Indeed, if they did not affect us in one of these ways, they simply did not make the list! Some are also quite profound and, we’ll be honest, may stir an emotion or two. If you are a parent too, see if any affect you or register with you in a similar way. Click any quote for a larger view and you can then also scroll through all 20 quotes individually.

Being a father is the single greatest feeling on Earth. Not including those wonderful years I spent without a child, of course. It just occurred to me that the majority of my diet is made up of the foods that my kid didn’t finish. To be in your children’s memories tomorrow, you have to be in their lives today. There really are places in the heart you don’t even know exist until you love a child. A mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible. The best inheritance a parent can give his children is a few minutes of his time each day. There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent. Don’t raise your kids to have more than you had. Raise them to be more than you were. Behind every young child who believes in himself is a parent who believed first. A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart till the day you die. All mothers believe that they have the most beautiful child in the world. They are all correct. A mother understands what a child does not say. Too much love never spoils children. Children become spoiled when we substitute presents for presence. Two of the greatest gifts we can give our children are roots and wings. I know how to do anything. I’m a mum. God could not be everywhere. And therefore, he made mothers. It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful? A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take. You know what the great thing about babies is? They are like little bundles of hope. Like the future in a basket. I learned from my parents the idea that, if you are devoted enough and you want to study something enough, you can really teach yourself anything.
