She had listened to nothing, but mothers hear certain things without listening.

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall;A mother's secret hope outlives them all.

The sweetest sounds to mortals given Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.

Mother - that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.

My mother is a poem I'll never be able to write, though everything I write is a poem to my mother.

Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,The angels, whispering to one another,Can find, among their burning terms of love,None so devotional as that of "Mother,"Therefore by that dear name I long have called you,You who are more than mother unto me.

My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.

Some mothers need happy children; others need unhappy ones -- otherwise they cannot prove their maternal virtues.

All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
