There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness... 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.

—Andrew Jackson

从来没有一个女人像她那样。她非常温柔，就像一只鸽子;她也很勇敢，像一头母狮……毕竟，对母亲的记忆和她的教诲是我人生起步的惟一资本，并奠定了我的人生之路。

——安德鲁·杰克逊

A good mother is worth a hundred schoolmaster.

母亲节—George Herbert(1593—1633)

一位好母亲抵得上一百个教师。

——乔治·赫伯特

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall. A mother's secret hope outlives them all.

—Oliver Wendell Holmes(1809—1894)

青春会逝去;爱情会枯萎;友谊的绿叶也会凋零。而一个母亲内心的希望比它们都要长久。

——奥利弗·温戴尔·荷马

世界上的一切光荣和骄傲，都来自母亲。
