A Noble Sentiment
Exodus 20:12
Honor your father and your mother: that your days may be long on the land which the LORD your God gives you.


A little boy hearing a party of gentlemen applauding the sentiment, "an honest man is the noblest work of God," boldly said, "No"; and being asked, "What do you think is the noblest work of God?" replied, "My mother." That boy made a good man. Who can doubt it?
