“Come, blessed barrier between day and day,
Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!”

“Soldier, there is a war between the mind
And sky, between thought and day and night.”

“Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down."

--From My Brother Martin, by Christine King Farris”

“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.”

“Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.”

“Drumossie moor — Drumossie day —
A waefu' day it was to me!
For there I lost my father dear,
My father dear, and brethren three.”

“Venerable men! you have come down to us from a former generation. Heaven has bounteously lengthened out your lives, that you might behold this joyous day.”

“How great a joy I feel in my heart. That a day so pleasant, so dear and glorious begins, a day that I greet with the wish. That long years may pass in happiness. In health and vigour, peacefully, successfully. May the gift of heaven fall richly upon you”

“Sometimes a day is a step mother, sometimes a mother.”

“(Mother's Day) is a tough holiday for Rahm Emanuel because he's not used to saying the word "day" after "mother."”
