Seven Sayings About Moms Mother's Day is tomorrow, so this will be a tribute to that special lady who shows(ed) us love, who raised us, who has supported us and who has offered us sound advice through the years. 1) "One race there is of men, one of gods, but from one mother we both draw our breath." ~Pindar~ 2) "My father! The Great Spirit is my father! The earth is my mother--and on her bosom I will recline." ~Tecumseh~ 3) Who ran to help me when I fell, ����And would some pretty story tell, ����Or kiss the place to make it well? ���������My mother. ~Ann and Jane Taylor, My Mother~ 4) Dear Madam, I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five *[actually two] sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Letter written by Abraham Lincoln to a Mrs. Bixby 5) "A boy's best friend is his mother." ~Joseph Stefano; a line from the movie Psycho~ 6) "Holy Mother Earth, the trees and all nature are witnesses of your thoughts and deeds." ~Native American Proverb~ 7) "My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her." ~George Washington~ ********"One race there is of men, one of gods, but from one mother we both draw our breath." ~Pindar~ I like this quote. Because it's saying that no matter who we are, man or god, we all come from the same origins. In that, we are the same. No better than any others, no less off either. I like knowing we ALL have the same "mother." *It was later discovered and the records corrected to say Mrs. Bixby had had only two sons. Links to other Saturday Sayings!
