1. You're never too heavy for your mother to bear. But try, as you get older, to swap roles once in a while.

    母亲从不觉得孩子是负累。不过，在你长大以后，不妨偶尔试着交换一下角色。

    2. Take the word "family". Strike out the "m" for mother and the "y" for youth--and all you have center is fail.

    看看“家庭”（family）这个字眼吧。划去代表“母亲”（mother）的“m”和代表“青春”（youth）的“y”——你就只剩下了“失败”（fail）了。

    3. A mother is one through whom God whispers love to his little children. And, yes, sometimes that voice can rise above a whisper,but only because you're not listening.

    上帝通过母亲向孩子们悄声传达他的爱。还有，对了，有时这声音很响亮，只因你没有倾听才认为“爱”是在悄悄传达。
