Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and
threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one
mother in the whole world.

The noblest calling in the world is that of a mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She
who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and
admiration of mankind, but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons
and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages, long after paintings shall have faded and books and
statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give.
