“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child!

Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“To speak or do anything that shall concern mankind, one must speak and act as if well, or from that grain of health which he has left.”
