More quotes by Pam Brown

Image
The baby rises to its feet, takes a step, is overcome with triumph and joy - and falls flat on its face. It is a pattern for all that is to come! But learn from the bewildered baby. Lurch to your feet again. You'll make the sofa in the end.

If you've only one breath left, use it to say thank you.
Pam Brown
Image
Always smile back at little children. To ignore them is to destroy their belief that the world is good.
Pam Brown
Image
The child who ran weeping to you with a cut finger is now brought home, smiling gamely, with a broken collarbone and incredible contusions- 'it wasn't Jezebels fault, Dad.'

However time or circumstances may come between mother and her child, their lives are interwoven forever.

A sister is the cure for swollen heads and ego trips. One may a star, a Chief Executive-famous and rich and beautiful. But one's sister has the family photo album. And a long, long memory. And a tendency to wink at one on Top Occasions.

Loss leaves us empty - but learn not to close your heart and mind in grief. Allow life to replenish you. When sorrow comes it seems impossible - but new joys wait to fill the void.

We expect too much at Christmas. It's got to be magical. It's got to go right. Feasting. Fun. The perfect present. All that anticipation. Take it easy. Love's the thing. The rest is tinsel.

Love is to understand, at last, the suffering of another.

For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.

Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.
Pam Brown
Image
Sisters share the scent and smells... the feel of a common childhood.
Pam Brown
Image
Kittens are wide-eyed, soft and sweet. With needles in their jaws and feet.
Pam Brown
Image
For the sake of the sons - and even for the son's future wives - a woman must keep a part of her mind and heart entirely for herself. Every family is better off with a wife and mother who can astonish and occasionally dewilder.

Human beings are drawn to cats because they are all we are not — self-contained, elegant in everything they do, relaxed, assured, glad of company, yet still possessing secret lives.
Pam Brown
Image
The trouble with sharing one's bed with cats is that they'd rather sleep on you than beside you.
Pam Brown
Image
The work of a garden bears visible fruits-in a world where most of our labours seem suspiciously meaningless.
Pam Brown
Image
We shared. Parents. Home. Pets. Celebrations. Catastrophes. Secrets. And the threads of our experience became so interwoven that we are linked. I can never be utterly lonely, knowing you share the planet.

Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience.

A cat likes to hear you calling him. He sits in a bush a yard from your shoes - and listens.
