Dignity does not float down from heaven, it cannot be purchased nor manufactured. It is a reward reserved for those who labor with diligence.

— Bill Hybels

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

— Washington Irving

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

— Honore de Balzac

The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.

— Oliver Wendell Holmes

Where we love is home -- home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

— Oliver Wendell Holmes
