In much of the western world
we use baby shower quotes to express our love for the new mother and her
babe. So often it seems that intense emotions are difficult to
express, and so we borrow these baby shower quotes from others:
***
When the first baby laughed for the first time,
the laugh broke into a
thousand pieces
and they all went skipping about,
and that was the
beginning of fairies.
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
It is no small thing that they,
who are so fresh from God,
love us.
Charles Dickens
Childbirth is more admirable than conquest,
more amazing than
self-defense,
and as courageous as either one.
Gloria Steinem
The moment a child is
born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.
Rajneesh
Here we have a baby.
It is composed of a bald head and pair of
lungs.
Eugene Field
Before you were conceived, I wanted you.
Before you were born, I love you.
Before you were here an hour, I would die for you.
That is the miracle of life.
Maureen Hawkins, "The Miracle"
Woman is the artist of
the imagination,
and the child in the womb is the canvas
whereon she paints her pictures.
Parascelsus, 15th century physician

Children are one third

Out of the Everywhere and into here.
George MacDonald, At the Back of the North Wind
Babies are such a nice

The moment a child is
born,
The mother is also born.

soft laps, no laughter, or no love.

do well matters very much.
