With Mother's Day just past (in North America anyway) many of us have been thinking about our own mothers and our families, and hopefully reflecting on the positive experiences and feelings associated with those very important people in our lives.
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family. ~Virginia Satir
In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony. ~Eva Burrows
Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. ~Brad Henry
I come from a great family. I've seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be. ~Sidney Poitier
The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms . . . and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been. ~Robert Brault

It doesn't matter how old you are, or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mom. ~Kate Winslet
Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes. ~P.J. O'Rourke

Wednesday Quotes is a bi-weekly opportunity for bloggers to share their writing, poetry, photos, or stories inspired by our theme. We've chosen the themes as a starting point for your creativity, and the only requirement is that your post include at least one related quote. Feel free to combine or "double-dip" with other writing or photo challenges as well. Of course, we'd appreciate a link back to us, if you'd be so kind. Add your link and please visit others and leave a comment! The link is open for two weeks.
Thanks to Marsha at Always Write for introducing us to the Wednesday Quotes challenge, and for passing the hosting duties along so we can continue sharing great quotes! Wednesday Quotes is co-hosted by Kym at A Fresh Cup of Coffee and Sadje at Keep It Alive.
Quoting reminds me there are other people in the world besides only me.
And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
