Letters of Two Brides Quotes

“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life's duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”

“A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.”
