Give me good mothers and I will give you a good nation.

One circumstance that helped our character development: we were needed. I often think today of what an impact could be made if children believed they were contributing to a family's essential survival and happiness.

The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.

My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.

My mom's one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.

That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.
