Sayings About the Mother

A man once went to the noble Messenger and asked: Instruct me, O Messenger of God — shall I honor my mother more, or my father? And the noble Prophet answered: Your mother, then your mother, then your mother, then your father...

The Village Poet said: The mother is the visible side of God.

No language can express the qualities of strength, beauty, and courage contained in a mother's love. She does not shrink where man shrinks; she grows strong where his resolve weakens; and she sends out to her son, in the desert of this world, the rays of her fidelity and her devotion, like a star in the sky.

• The vision of beauty is the greatest thing in the world. And great among men is he who sees beauty in things that appear ordinary to the great mass of mankind.
Tams

• I have never yet known a great man who was not at the same time a virtuous one.
Franklin

• Children, like grown people, profit nothing from the experience of others.
