There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.

We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.

Love is the river of life in the world.

Love, like a lamp, needs to be fed out of another's heart, or its flame burns low.

The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.

Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best ending for one.
