Friday Filosophy #2016-18

This week ends with Mother’s Day so we will celebrate our mothers, grandmothers, wives and children who are mothers just a couple of days early in this Friday Filosphy #2016-18.

 

God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.

Rudyard Kipling

 

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

Abraham Lincoln

 

Mother is the name for god in the lips and hearts of little children.

William Makepeace Thackeray

 

It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?

Mahatma Gandhi

 

Motherhood. All love begins and ends there.

Robert Browning

 

A mother’s arm are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.

Victor Hugo

 

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

Theodore Hesburgh

 

Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life.

Sophocles

 

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

Honore de Balzac

 

When your mother asks, “do you want a piece of advice?” it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway.

Friday Filosophy #2015-39

I’d like to begin our Friday Filosophy #2015-29 by wishing each and every one of you a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. I grew up in Canada and Thanksgiving is October, close to Columbus Day, and that is also close to my birthday, I love pumpkin pie. So have some cider, or whatever your choice of beverage, enjoy turkey and the complete meal. Most important of all please enjoy your families. Cheers!

 

Our rural ancestors, with little blest,

Patient of labour when the end was rest,

Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,

With feasts, and off’rings, and a thankful strain.

Alexander Pope

 

What we’re really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?

Erma Bombeck

 

Thanksgiving, after all is a word of action.

J. Cameron

 

Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.

Robert Caspar Lintner

 

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not a coincidence.

Erma Bombeck

 

An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day
