Raising a child and managing a family comes with a great deal of responsibility. While some parents might embrace the challenges they will face, others struggle to deal with the overwhelming obstacles they face each day. Because so many parents are stressed out from having to handle all of these challenges, they can easily lose their motivation and forget about the commitment they made. This is why it is important to feed your mind with positive words of encouragement that will help keep you inspired when things get too difficult. We have gathered some inspirational quotes for parents about courage, patience, life, love, and wisdom that will keep you going when you might feel like giving up:
- “Be the parent today that you want your kids to remember tomorrow.” – Unknown
- “When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this Earth.” – Mitch Albom
- “Who can occupy your patience when impatience roars through you? Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you.” – Gary Zukav
- “The golden rule of parenting is to always show your children the kind of person you want them to be. Remember that children are impressionable.” Elizabeth Roxas
- “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” – Reinhold Niebuhr
- “Love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark to have been loved so deeply .. will give us some protection forever.” – J.K. Rowling
- “Parents with their words, attitudes, and actions possess the ability to bless or curse the identities of their children.” – Craig Hill
- “But when you truly realize who gave you your child, why you do what you do and how you do what you do will totally change as you understand that none of this is about you and what you think and feel. It’s all about the purpose and plan of God for that child’s life.” – Joseph Woodley
- “I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.” – Paulo Coehho
- “First your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life.” ― Chuck Palahniuk
- “Sometimes you face difficulties not because you’re doing something wrong but because you’re doing something right.”
- “Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did – that everything involving our children was painful in some way. The emotions, whether they were joy, sorrow, love or pride, were so deep and sharp that in the end they left you raw, exposed and yes, in pain. The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that – a parent’s heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.” – Debra Ginsberg
- “Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us life itself. Beyond this they almost always made countless sacrifices as they cared for and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood, provided us with the necessities of life, and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up.” – Ezra Taft Benson
- “Parenting has nothing to do with perfection. Perfection isn’t even the goal, not for us, not for our children. Learning together to live well in an imperfect world, loving each other despite or even because of our imperfections, and growing as humans while we grow our little humans, those are the goals of gentle parenting. So don’t ask yourself at the end of the day if you did everything right. Ask yourself what you learned and how well you loved, then grow from your answer. That is perfect parenting.” – L.R. Knost
