“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
“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 mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best.”
Hamilton Wright Mabie
“The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“When I stopped seeing my mother with the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself.”
Nancy Friday
“For the hand that rocks the cradle - Is the hand that rules the world”
