A little child born yesterday,
A thing on mother's milk and kisses fed.
~ Homer. Hymn to Hermes, 1:406
Who fed me from her gentle breast,
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.
~ Anne Taylor. My Mother
For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts;
you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance...
you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees.
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you...
~ Isaiah 66:11, 12b, 13a
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my
angel mother.
~ Abraham Lincoln

put my whole life into.

Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon.
~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Lullaby, from The Princess
The days are cold, the nights are long,
The north wind sings a doleful song;
Then hush again upon my breast;
All merry things are now at rest,
Save thee, my pretty love!
~ Dorothy Wordsworth. The Cottager to her Infant
O, thou beautiful
damsel,
May the four oceans of the earth
Contribute the secretion of milk in thy breasts
For the purpose for improving
The bodily strength of the child.
O, thou with the beautiful face,
May the child reared on your milk,
Attain a long life,
Like the gods made immortal with drinks of nectar.
~ Susruta Samhita (4th-2nd centuries BC).
An English translation of the Susruta Samhita, translated
Bishagratna, KKL (1911)
There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.
~ Albert Einstein
