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.

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.
從來沒有個女人像她那樣。她輕柔得像一只斑鳩;她勇敢得像一頭母獅……畢竟,對母親的記憶和她的教誨,是我人生起步的唯一資本,并奠定了我的人生之路。

——奧利弗·溫戴爾·荷馬
God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.
上帝不能無處不在,因此他創(chuàng)造了母親。

In all my efforts to learn to read, my mother shared fully my ambition and sympathized with me and aided me in every way she could. If I have done anything in life worth attention, I feel sure that I inherited the disposition from my mother.
在我努力學習閱讀的過程中,母親一直分享著我的抱負、充分理解我,盡她所能幫助我。如果我一生中做了什么值得人們注意的事情,那一定是我繼承了她的氣質(zhì)。

It seems to me that my mother was the most splendid woman I ever knew... I have met a lot of people knocking around the world since, but I have never met a more thoroughly refined woman than my mother. If I have amounted to anything, it will be due to her.
對我而言,我的母親是我認識的最了不起的女人……我遇見太多太多的世人,可是從未遇上像我母親那般更為透徹的優(yōu)雅的女人。如果我有所成就的話,這都要歸功于她。
