Mothers' Day
I think that children's love for their mothers is the most tender of all attachments: therefore, women's influence remain always the most important engine in the world history.
All great legislators felt how important the influence of mother's was for great national purposes. When Napoleon was asked: "Where is the best place to raise recruits? He said, "In the nurseries."
To French mothers he turned to help of inculcation those glorious traditions, which provided force his inexperienced, tired soldiers.
Let us remember the Spartan mothers. They, like their nation, most of all wished that the Spartans were distinguished by heroic courage and stoically endured all pain, all suffering. It was extremely important for the race, supporting only force the muscles. As a result, there was a characteristic story, admired the ancient world. When the Spartan boy complained to his mother that his sword was too short, she replied, "Take an extra step forward."
Congratulations to all mothers with this wonderful holiday! Since ancient times, the attitude to the woman-mother is special. It’s full of respect, value, revere. Mother is not only the Keeper of home and family traditions, but also the first teacher and mentor of the younger generation. It is mother who teaches children the wise laws of life, conveys the first customs of her people, brings up the best qualities in her child.
