presented to us by our children.

Women in health are the hope of the nation. Men who exercise a controlling influence—the master spirits—with a few exceptions, have had country-born mothers.

A mother is a mother still,
The holiest thing alive.
—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; in good repute, in
bad repute, in the face of the world's condemnation, a mother still
loves on, and still hopes that her child may turn from his evil ways,
and repent; still she remembers the infant smiles that once filled her
bosom with rapture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout of his childhood,
the opening promise of his youth; and she can never be brought to think
him all unworthy.—Washington Irving.
If there be aught surpassing human deed or word or thought, it is a
mother's love!—Marchioness de Spadara.

occasionally, be visited on their children, as well as the sins of
fathers.—Dickens.

mothers venerable.—Richter.

together with the pious and sweet souvenirs of the fireside, are never
effaced entirely from the soul.—Lamennais.

"An ounce of mother," says the Spanish proverb, "is worth a
pound of clergy."—T.W. Higginson.
Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall;
A mother's secret hope outlives them all.
—Holmes.
A mother's love is indeed the golden link that binds youth to age; and
he is still but a child, however time may have furrowed his cheek, or
silvered his brow, who can yet recall, with a softened heart, the fond
devotion or the gentle chidings of the best friend that God ever gives
us.—Bovee.
