All that i am or ever hope to be, i owe to my angel Mother. I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
无论我现在怎么样还是希望以后会怎么样还是希望以后会怎么样，都应当归功于我天使一般的母亲。我记得母亲的那些祷告，它们一直伴随着我，而且己经陪伴了我一生。
---Abraham Lincoln（亚伯·林肯）
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. 我的母亲是我见过的最漂亮的女人。我所有的一切都归功于我的母亲。我一生中所有的成就都归功于我从她那儿得到的德。智。体方面的教育
----George Washington（乔治·华盛顿）
There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as 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.
从来没有一个女人像她那样。她犹如鸽子般温柔，又如母狮般勇敢…毕竟，对于母亲的记忆和她的教诲是我人生起步的唯一资本，并奠定了我的人生道路。
----Andrew Jackson（安德鲁·杰克逊）
Youth fades; Love droops; the leaves of friendship fall. A mother's secret hope outlives them all.
青春会流逝；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。
----Oliver Wendell Holmes（奥利弗·温戴尔·荷马）
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
母亲的心是一个深渊，在它的最深处你总会得到宽恕。
----Balzac（巴尔扎克）
