Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. |
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of her self. And mothers are their daughters' role model, their biological and emotional road map, the arbiter of all their relationships. |
Having two daughters changed my perspective on a lot of things, and I definitely have a newfound respect for women. And I think I finally became a good and real man when I had a daughter. |

A mother's treasure is her daughter. |
A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life. |

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. |
After a girl is grown, her little brothers - now her protectors - seem like big brothers. |
