Dorothy Canfield Fisher
“The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all.”
Washington Irving
“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.”
Honore de Balzac
“Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.”
Stevie Wonder
“Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; a mother's secret hope outlives them all!”
“Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well? My mother”
Ann Taylor
