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."

The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with; and on that capital I have made my way."

I seem to feel still the touch of her hand, and the sweet steadying influence of her wonderful character. I thank God to have had such a mother."
