Mother Tongue

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or tongue:

“Mother love has been much maligned. An over mothered boy may go through life expecting each new woman to love him the way his mother did. Her love may make any other love seem inadequate. But an unloved boy would be even more likely to idealize love. I don’t think it’s possible for a mother or father to love a child too much.
”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“When a tongue fails to send forth appropriate shafts, there might be a word to act as healer of these.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
