For most people, their own mother is the most important person in their lives. No wonder, because a mother’s love for her children is something very special.
Our mother is our first important caregiver in life. Hardly anyone shapes us as much in the first months and years of our lives as she does. A great responsibility. In order to do justice to it and to raise us to be happy human beings, our mothers not infrequently dislocate ten legs.
And they don’t even expect thanks for it. A smile and a kind word from the child and the strains and efforts, all-nighters and small as well as big worries are forgotten. It is logical that clever people have taken this unique relationship between mother and child as an occasion for clever mother sayings.
Why a mother is so unique is also shown by the following mother sayings that we have collected for you: from wise philosophers, sharp-tongued authors or simply folk wisdom.
