Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or hubbard:

    It takes a heap o’ children to make a home that’s true,
    And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe;
    But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two,
    Why, that’s the sort of good old home for good old me and you.
    Louis Untermeyer (1885–1977)

    Th’ only way t’ entertain some folks is t’ listen t’ ‘em.
    —Kin Hubbard (F. [Frank] Mckinney Hubbard)
