Safe Motherhood

Famous quotes containing the words safe and/or motherhood:

“The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures—they are safe only because nobody has sought after them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“However global I strove to become in my thinking over the past twenty years, my sons kept me rooted to an utterly pedestrian view, intimately involved with the most inspiring and fractious passages in human development. However unconsciously by now, motherhood informs every thought I have, influencing everything I do. More than any other part of my life, being a mother taught me what it means to be human.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
