godmother QUOTES

1 " Why do you always rescue me?" — " Every Cinderella needs a fairy godmother. But sometimes your fairy godmother needs you right back. "

2 " Sometimes, it seemed, the business of a Witch or a Godmother was not so much using magic as knowing when not to use it. "

― Mercedes Lackey , The Fairy Godmother (Five Hundred Kingdoms, #1)

3 " I am not a fairy godmother or anything of that sort, but I hope to give you a happy home and a good education, and to send you out into the world true, brave, generous men, prepared to serve God truly all the days of your life." ~Aunt Persis "

4 " I don't know as much about children as I would like to. I am godmother to a wonderful three-year-old boy named dominic, the son of my friend Sophie. They live in Scotland, near Oban, and I don't get to see him often. I am always astonished, when I do, at his increasing personhood - no sooner had I gotten used to carrying about a warm lump of baby that he stopped being one started scurrying around on his own. I missed six months, and lo and behold, he learned how to talk! Now he talks to himself, which I find terribly endearing since I do, too. "

5 " Sometimes a fairy godmother needs more than magic. "

― Chris Pavesic , Heart & Mind

6 " No fairy godmother had ever spent time helping a poor and humble milk maid who was destined to die even poorer and humbler. "

― Chris Pavesic , Heart & Mind

7 " Remember: There's a reason the fairy godmother gave Cinderella two glass slippers. "

8 " I replied that I did not quite know what my ailment had been, but that I had certainly suffered a good deal especially in mind. Further, on this subject, I did not consider it advisable to dwell, for the details of what I had undergone belonged to a portion of my existence in which I never expected my godmother to take a share. Into what a new region would such a confidence have led that hale, serene nature! The difference between her and me might be figured by that between the stately ship cruising safe on smooth seas, with its full complement of crew, a captain gay and brave, and venturous and provident; and the life-boat, which most days of the year lies dry and solitary in an old, dark boat-house, only putting to sea when the billows run high in rough weather, when cloud encounters water, when danger and death divide between them the rule of the great deep. No, the " Louisa Bretton" never was out of harbour on such a night, and in such a scene: her crew could not conceive it; so the half-drowned life-boat man keeps his own counsel, and spins no yarns. "

9 " I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity. "

― Eleanor Roosevelt

10 " Did anyone care for poor Cinderella until her fairy godmother took her in hand? Did anyone look beyond the ragged clothes and sooty face? Did anyone see the unshed tears and the poor, tired face?
Obviously not. Appearances matter. "

― Gita V. Reddy , Cinderella's Escape

11 " I believe that our lives, just like fairy tales - the stories that have been written by us humans, through our own experiences of living - will always have a Hero and a Heroine, a Fairy Godmother and a Wicked Witch. "

― Lucinda Riley , The Girl on the Cliff

12 " I think at a child's birth if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift that gift should be curiosity. "

13 " I knew that I was loved. And that's such an important thing. And, of course, at such an early age, you take it for granted. Of course your parents love you. Of course Mrs. Hubert across the street loves you and your godmother loves you and your grandparents love you. "

14 " I grew up with a tribe of amazing women, but certainly my mother and my godmother really modeled women as actors. "

15 " I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity. "
