“Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearing of children tends toward the formation of character.”
“No mother. Two small words, and yet within them lay a bottomless well of pain and loss, a ceaseless mourning for touches that were never received and words of wisdom that were never spoken. No single word was big enough to adequately describe the loss of your mother.”
“Everything comes home, my mother used to say; every word spoken, every shadow cast, every footprint in the sand. It can't be helped; it's part of what makes us who we are. ”
“Hear the meaning within the word.”
“Opportunities for education should be within the reach of every individual, not for the lucky few.”
“They carried what was holy within them, for every man was a temple, and every prayer spoken could be heard by our Father above us.”
