5 Money Quotes from Famous Mothers
As you get ready for Mother’s Day, enjoy these money-related quotes from five celebrity mothers—two first ladies, an author, a saint, and a famous (or perhaps infamous) TV mom.
1. “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.” –Maya Angelou, author/poet and mother of one
2. “A housewife deserves to be honored as much as a woman who earns her living in the marketplace. I consider bringing up children a responsible job.

3. “Yes, you must live life beautifully and not allow the spirit of the world that makes gods out of power, riches and pleasure make you forget that you have been created for greater things—to love and to be loved.” –Mother Teresa

5. “Al, what kind of selfish wife like me would give their own husband his money? It just isn’t done. I haven’t finished spending it all yet.” –TV mom Peggy Bundy from Married…with Children
