Mother

Dolores Huerta Quote: “My mother never made me do…”

My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that’s an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.

October 28, 2021 1930, American, April 10, Dolores Huerta, Quotes by Activists

Meghan O’Rourke Quote: “A mother, after all, is your…”

A mother, after all, is your entry into the world. She is the shell in which you divide and become a life. Waking up in a world without her is like waking up in a world without sky: unimaginable.

October 27, 2021 1976, American, Meghan O'Rourke, Quotes by Poets

Ezra Taft Benson Quote: “In the beginning, Adam was instructed…”

In the beginning, Adam was instructed to earn the bread by the sweat of his brow – not Eve. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a mother’s place is in the home!

October 26, 2021 1899, American, August 4, Ezra Taft Benson, Quotes by Leaders

Emmeline Pankhurst Quote: “One baby is a patient baby…”

One baby is a patient baby, and waits indefinitely until its mother is ready to feed it. The other baby is an impatient baby and cries lustily, screams and kicks and makes everybody unpleasant until it is fed. Well, we know perfectly well which baby is attended to first. That is the whole history of politics.

October 23, 2021 1858, Emmeline Pankhurst, English, July 14, Quotes by Activists

Audre Lorde Quote: “There’s always someone asking you to…”

There’s always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself – whether it’s Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc. – because that’s the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else.

October 14, 2021 1934, American, Audre Lorde, February 18, Quotes by Poets

Dennis Banks Quote: “It also called upon traditional people…”

It also called upon traditional people in the Four Directions to strengthen the healing ceremonies and asked people to heed the warnings of Mother Earth.

October 8, 2021 1932, American, April 12, Dennis Banks, Quotes by Educators

Franz Grillparzer Quote: “There shall be no slave in…”

There shall be no slave in your home, male or female: Least of all the mother of your son.

September 30, 2021 1791, Austrian, Franz Grillparzer, January 15, Quotes by Poets

Winona LaDuke Quote: “I see a lot of damage…”

I see a lot of damage to Mother Earth. I see water being taken from creeks where water belongs to animals, not to oil companies.

September 29, 2021 1959, American, August 18, Quotes by Activists, Winona LaDuke

Hesiod Quote: “A day is sometimes our mother…”

A day is sometimes our mother, sometimes our stepmother.

September 24, 2021 800 BC, Greek, Hesiod, Quotes by Poets

Noam Chomsky Quote: “I don’t join the New Atheists….”

I don’t join the New Atheists. So, for example, I wouldn’t have the arrogance to lecture some mother who hopes to see her dying child in Heaven – that’s none of my business, ultimately. I won’t lecture her on the philosophy of science.

September 18, 2021 1928, American, December 7, Noam Chomsky, Quotes by Activists
