Happy are the families where the government of parents is the reign of affection, and of the children the submission to love. A placid parent makes a placid home. A good mother is worth a hundred schoolmasters. It is wise father that knows his own child. It is the general rule that all superior men inherit the elements of superiority from their mother. The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint is not intended. From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. A mother's voice is the most beautiful sound in the world. Parents know that a caring attitude can not only save you a small fortue, but also even make you feel good about being tightfisted and offering more care than presents. It is at our mother's knee that we acquire our noblest and truest and highest, but there is seldom any money in them. Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.
