2. A mother is
someone
who guides
and inspires.
She helps us
to attain our
dreams and
desires.
Wisdom and
insight are
part of her
way,
and her faith
in her
children
brightens
their days.

3. All mothers are rich when they love their
children. There are no poor mothers, no ugly
ones, no old ones. Their love is always the
most beautiful of joys.
—Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949)

4. She broke the bread into two
fragments and gave them to the
children, who ate with avidity.
"She hath kept none for herself,"
grumbled the sergeant.
"Because she is not hungry,"
said a soldier.
"Because she is a mother," said
the sergeant.
—Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

5. My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a
general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the pope."
Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.

6. The boy's mother read the
note and said, "My son Tom isn't
'too stupid to learn.' I'll teach him
myself." And so she did.
When Tom died many years
later, the people of the United
States of America paid tribute to
him by turning off the nation's
lights for one full minute. You see,
this Tom had invented the light
bulb—and not only that, but
motion pictures and the record
player. In all, Thomas Edison had
more than one thousand patents
to his credit.
A partially deaf boy came home from school one day carrying a note from
officials at the school. The note suggested that the parents take the boy out of
school, claiming that he was "too stupid to learn."
—Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931)

7. You may have tangible
wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels
and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you
can never be—
I had a mother who
read to me.
—Strickland Gillian (1869-1954)
