Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place.

My mother taught me three things: respect, knowledge, search for knowledge. It's an eternal journey.

That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in.

My mother always seemed to me like a fairy princess: a radiant being possessed of limitless riches and power.

My mother made a brilliant impression upon my childhood life. She shone for me like the evening star.
