A mother is someone who guides and inspires. She
helps us to attain our dreams and desires. Wisdom
and insight are part of her way, and her faith in
her children brightens their days.
What is a Mother?

All mothers are rich when they love their
children. There are no poor mothers, no ugly
ones, no old ones. Their love is always the most
beautiful of joys.
Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949)

What a mother can do
My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier,
you'll be a general if you become a monk, you'll
end up as the pope." Instead I became a painter
and wound up as Picasso.

A partially deaf boy came home from school
one day carrying a note from officials at the
school. The note suggested that the parents take
the boy out of school, claiming that he was "too
stupid to learn."      
      The boy's mother read the note and said,
"My son Tom isn't 'too stupid to learn.' I'll
teach him myself." And so she did.      When Tom
died many years later, the people of the United
States of America paid tribute to him by turning
off the nation's lights for one full minute. You
see, this Tom had invented the light bulband not
only that, but motion pictures and the record
player. In all, Thomas Edison had more than one
thousand patents to his credit.
My mother was the making of me.
Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931)

An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.
You may have tangible wealth untold      
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.      
Richer than I you can never be       I had a
mother who read to me. Strickland Gillian
(1869-1954)

...but only one MOTHER in the whole world.
Most of all the other beautiful things in life
come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds.
Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows,
brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins...
Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923),
U.S. Author
and Educator

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's
face.

Motherhood is the most important of all the
professions...
...requiring more knowledge than any
other department in human affairs.
 Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902)
