What a strange thing is man! And what a stranger is woman! What a whirlwind is her head, and what a whirlpool full of depth and danger is all the rest about her.

Lord Byron

Women are more powerful than they think. A mother’s warmth is the essence of motivation. If we could liquefy the encouragement, care and compassion we deliver to our children it would surely fill an expanse greater than the Pacific

Louise Burfitt-Dons

Next to God, we are indebted to women, first for life itself, and then for making it worth having.

Christian Nestell Bovee

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

Abraham Lincoln
