All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother. I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.
—Abraham Lincoln

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical
education I received from her.
—George Washington
我的母亲是我见过的最漂亮的女人。我所有的一切都归功于我的母亲。我一生中所有的成就都归功于我从她那儿得到的德、智、体的教育。

There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness... The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.
—Andrew Jackson
从来没有一个女人像她那样。她非常温柔,就像一只鸽子;她也很勇敢,像一头母狮……毕竟,对母亲的记忆和她的教诲是我人生起步的资本,并奠定了我的人生之路。
——安德鲁·杰克逊
