“A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive”
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 love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.”
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
“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
“A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary”
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
“Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; a mother's secret hope outlives them all!”
