IN PRAISE OF MOTHERS

1.Children are  what the mothers are; no fondest father’s fondest care can so fashion the infant’s heart , or so shape the life. 4). English writer, Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864).

2.Children, look in those eyes. Listen to that dear voice, notice the feeling of even a single touch that is bestowed upon you by that gentle hand! Make much of it while you have that most precious of all good gifts, a loving mother.

Read the unfathomable love of those eyes; the kind anxiety of that tone and look, however slight your pain. 

In after life you may have friends, fond, dear friends, but never will you have again the in-expressible love and gentleness lavished upon you, which none but a mother bestows.  English author and historian Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-59).  

3. The babe at first feeds upon the mother’s bosom, but is always on her heart, American clergy, H.W. Beecher (1813-87).

4.The future of society is in the hands of the mothers. If the world was lost through woman, she alone can save it.   French historian, Louis de Beaufort (died 1795).

5. God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers. Jewish saying.
