"Becoming a mother
makes you the mother of all children.
From now on each wounded, abandoned,
frightened child is yours.
You live in the suffering mothers
of every race and creed and weep with them.
You long to comfort all who are desolate."

"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 endeavor
by her kind precepts and counsels
to dissipate the clouds of darkness,
and cause peace to return to our hearts."
