Mother's Day


Mother is the name for God
in the lips and hearts of little children.
- William Makepeace Thackeray

A mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.
- Emily Dickinson

Men are what their mothers made them.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

A mother is not a person to lean on,
but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
- Dorothy Canfield Fisher

  1. This picture is perfect on plain white........ glad you kept this format for mothers day, even if someone's mother is not to the earth they wouldn't feel the weight of it presented in the black box format.

    Don't assume there are no readers, or that they don't care for how messages are being put out.

  2. Actually, there are 75,000 subscribers to Daily Inspiration - Daily Quotes. I very much value everyone's feeling about the format of the lead pictures - and every other aspect of the format and content of this blog and email.

    I welcome all thoughts about this either as comments here, or to my email at jlh {at} sail7.com

  3. For me it's not the color or non-color of the box. It's the words and the deep, personal message I receive daily from this blog. I'm helped tremendously each day!!!!!!! May God always bless and keep you Jonathan for the marvellous work you do. Julia
