HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

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 troubles thicken 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

The angels, whispering to one another can find, among their burning terms of love, none so devotional as that of "Mother." - Edgar Allen Poe

Nobody knows how to pamper like a mom. - Calvin, "Calvin and Hobbes"

Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of small children. - Draven, "The Crow"

Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. - Lin Yü-tang

A mother should be like a quilt--keep the children warm but don't smother them.

A mother is someone who dreams great dreams for you, but then she lets you chase the dreams you have for yourself and loves you just the same.

A mother’s love is forever; time, distance, hardship... all fall before the strength of her love.

A mother's love is like a circle. It has no beginning and no ending. It keeps going around and around ever expanding, touching everyone who comes in contact with it. Engulfing them like the morning's mist, warming them like the noontime sun and covering them like a blanket of evening stars. A mother's love is like a circle. It has no beginning and no ending.
