My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
- Marc Chagall

For mother's sake the child was dear,
and dearer was the mother for the child.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, English poet

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face
- George Eliot, English novelist

Who ran to help me when I fell,
Or kissed the place to make it well?
....My mother.
- Ann Taylor

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.
- Washington Irving

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. ~Buddha
