The essence of motherhood is not restricted to women who have given birth; it is a principle inherent in both women and men. It is an attitude of the mind. It is love - and that love is the very breath of life. No one would say, 'I will breathe only when I am with my family and friends; I won't breathe in front of my enemies.'

And all those things can't be taught. It's something that, that in the essence of a woman, the essence of a mother, a mother knows!
