Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one’s own Trojan horse.

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended—and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended.

By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.

I cannot bear a parent’s tears.
