The departure of our proverb

 The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return, taught the real value of photography to every father and mother. To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation.

 He was a giver. He took all of the good things our mother and father taught. He was the best son a mother and father could have had. He was the best brother you could be ? and the best friend.

 We know what happens to little black boys that have no dads, we've heard that, we get it, ... But no one is really saying that young women who are born without fathers have real serious issues, especially when their mother had no father and the mother has issues. ... When I talk about it, people are actually listening.

 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: / But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

 India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.
  Will Durant

 A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice.

 A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.
  Albert Einstein

 My mother used to pitch to me and my father would shag balls. If I hit one up the middle close to my mother, I'd have some extra chores to do. My mother was instrumental in making me a pull hitter.

 My mother, father and birth-mother were pro-life and pro-adoption. Because they were, my father made me a Reagan. I've come to honor my father, not to politicize his name.

 It is the first time I've ever been in a dress. And it's terrible, well, it's first of all, you kind of, you look at it, and you think, who do I look like? There is a moment of recognition. And it's not quite, and it's, who do I look like? And you think, I got it after, you know, looking at a photograph of me, and I thought, it's my mother. I look like my mother.

 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? / For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

 The father, the mother and son have all been arrested for this before. The son is currently on probation. The father is in the (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and the mother served time in a state jail facility.

 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; / And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? / And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! / For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

 I think the Mother is gradually revealing itself to me and taking over. But it is not the Mother alone. It is the Mother and the Father, the male and the female, sort of gradually having their marriage.
