For a mother the project of raising a boy is the most fulfilling project she can hope for. She can watch him, as a child, play the games she was not allowed to play; she can invest in him her ideas, aspirations, ambitions, and values- or whatever she has left of them; she can watch her son, who came from her flesh and whose life was sustained by her work and devotion, embody her in the world. So while the project of raising a boy is fraught with ambivalence and leads inevitably to bitterness, it is the only project that allows a woman to be- to be through her son, to live through her son. - Andrea Dworkin
I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education which I received from my mother. - George Washington
Men are what their mothers made them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy Mother's Day
Mother, you know that you are dear to my heart, and because of that we will never part.
Through childhood days of gladness, sorrow, laughter and tears, you where always there with knowledge to share.
Now that I am grown and able to reflect. I have chosen those qualities which you exude best. Be it a winning smile, a kind word, or a helping hand, on you everyone can depend.
So on this special day mother, I am proud to say, that it is because of you these virtues shine through.
Happy Mother's Day, I Love You Mom
