** You're never too heavy for your mother to bear. But try, as you get older, to swap roles once in a while. ** Take the word 'family'. Strike out the 'm' for mother and the 'y' for youth--and all you have left is 'fail'.
** A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.
** A mother's love is like a circle. It has no begining and no ending.** A mother understands what a child does not say.
** Real mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grads. It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mummy to Mother. ** A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take. ** Of all the things that come in numbers--plenty of rainbows, stars in the sky, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins--you have but one mother. ** All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother. I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. -- Abraham Lincoln ** A good mother is worth a hundred schoolmaster. -- George Herbert ** The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way. -- Andrew Jackson ** The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. -- Balzac ** The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. ** It seems to me that my mother was the most splendid woman I ever knew... I have met a lot of people knocking around the world since, but I have never met a more thoroughly refined woman than my mother. If I have amounted to anything, it will be due to her. -- Charles Chaplin (Source: China Daily)
