Mother Quotes
-
He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get.

William Shakespeare

The mother condemned for a witch and burnt with dry
wood, and her children gazing on;
The hounded slave that flags in the race and leans by the
fence, blowing and covered with sweat,
The twinges that sting like needles his legs and neck,
The murderous buckshot and the bullets,
All these I feel or am.
Walt Whitman

So I think the support of fathers is very important.
