As Mother’s Day approaches, I thought we’d break from the usual nonsense and read some words of potential wisdom.

Viewpoints on motherhood and caring for the home:

• Motherhood is the biggest on-the-job training program in existence today. (Erma Bombeck)
• God could not be everywhere, so he made mothers (Jewish Proverb)
• Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing. (Phyllis Diller)
• We’re all in this together — by ourselves. (Lily Tomlin)
• Naming your baby after the beer you were stank ass drunk on when you conceived, well, it’s just a bad idea. Unless it’s Miller. That’s kind of nice.  (Lorre – Articles of Absurdity)

Advice given by their mothers:

• If you always do what interests you, at least one person will be pleased. (Mother’s Advice to Katherine Hepburn)
• My mother said to me, “If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general; if you become a monk, you’ll end up the pope.” Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. (Pablo Picasso)
• Fill what’s empty. Empty what’s full. And scratch where it itches. (Alice Roosevelt Longworth)
• It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
• Time wounds all heels. (Jane Ace)
