"...while I was a child her great affection for me, and her intense care for my welfare, made me love her and gave me that feeling of safety that children need...Her fearlessness, her public spirit, her contempt for convention, and her indifference to the opinion of the majority have always seemed good to me and have impressed themselves upon me as worthy of imitation."

~ Bertrand Russell (May 18, 1872 - February 2, 1970)  British philosopher


"The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom."

~ Henry Ward Beecher
