“The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word “Mother,” and the most beautiful call is the call of “My mother.” It is a word full of hope and love, a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart... our consolation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness... the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness... a pure soul who blesses and guards constantly.” - Kalil Gibran, The Broken Wings
