Dalai Lama
From the earliest stages of our growth, we are completely dependent upon our mother's care and it is very important for us that she express her love. If children do not receive proper affection, in later life they will often find it hard to love others.
Danish Proverb
A rich child often sits in a poor mother’s lap.
KhuddakaPatha
As a mother with her own life guards the life of her own child, let all-embracing thoughts for all that lives be thine.
