500 | _aWisdom of Our MothersFrom the mother who taught her daughter to wire a lamp ( "Women should not be dependent on men!" ) to the mother who recruited the President to save her daughter's life, the memories of daughters and sons of the remarkable wisdom and dedication of their mothers come to vivid life in this anthology of true stories." 'You chased that bear away with a fence slat,' I said shakily.'Well,' my mother said casually, 'I certainly wasn't going to let it get your guinea pig.'And by that I understood that she meant me.""I tell them about my mother with a grade eight education, whose dream it was to get her university degree. How it took her twenty-two years to get there and how she was sixty-six years old when she walked across that stage with her head held high, surrounded by twenty-two year olds. How it's never too late.""My dear, 'if' is the biggest little word in the English language. Most folks worry their lives away on what never happens. Apply your 'what if's' to positive possibilities rather than the negative." | ||
