A Mother's Love

Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours;
it wanders wherever your children do
George Bernard Shaw

In the love of a brave and faithful man there is always a strain
of maternal tenderness; he gives out again those beams of protecting
fondness which were shed on him as he lay on his mother's knee.
George Eliot

A mother's love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger
where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of
its quenchless fidelity like a star.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin
