It is very famous
Please try to find it out .

I think it could be like that.

The full quote is "For the hand that rocks the cradle, is the hand that rules the world." It is from a poem by William Ross Wallace that celebrates Motherhood and the concept that what a person becomes in their life starts with what they learn from their mother and that ultimately, it is mothers

It seems that you have already found out. It is good if you do such searching yourself first, before you put us to work. Our salary is pretty low.

No It is not like that.
Had I founded it out I would never requested you to look it up and explain it.
I am so sorry that you are getting less salary than u should get for this wonderful job. I do search and spend time then I consolt you briliant and I think you should encourage those who contact you.
But still it is not clear what does this phrase mean.

"The hand that rocks the cradles rules the world."

The key meaning is within the text you posted: what a person becomes in their life starts with what they learn from their mother...It is mothers that have the greatest influence on what we are or what we become.
