GRANDMOTHER QUOTES 

Grandmother quotes are cozy laps and warm cookies ... at least they were in the old days.  While they are just as likely now to carry a briefcase as a rolling pin, their smiles, their warmth, their joy just hasn't changed one wit.

My one grandmothers was an entrepreneur before the word was invented.  Having proudly sent her two sons off to war, she single handedly ran the family gas station and orchard.  My other grandmother used her nursing skills to support of family of six.  I try hard to emulate them both:  the entrepreneurial spirit of one, and the deep caring of the other.

These grandmother quotes range from the awesome to the giddy funny, just like our grandmothers.

My grandmothers were strong.
They followed plows and bent to toil.
They moved through fields sowing seeds.
They touched earth and grain grew.
They were full of sturdiness and singing.
My grandmothers were strong.
My grandmothers are full of memories.
Margaret Walker

The universal touch of grandmother quotes:

If nothing is going well, call your grandmother.
Italian proverb

She also knew old slave songs and I wondered why, when she hummed them, grandmother braided my hair even more softly, as if her fingers became liquid with pity.

Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation.
