Mark Twain on Mom"Men are what their mothers made them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson on Mom"My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso."

"As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay."
