not pay any respect to the person who does not take care of his parents.

We say the mother is the soil, the father is the homeland.

The mother teaches us to love the soil, and the father teaches us to love the homeland through their painstaking efforts and their lives.

No matter if her child is deaf, disobedient or stupid, a mother will always understand what her child says.

The Türkmens say, “Only the deaf person’s mother understands what the deaf person says.”

“My son, when you were a baby, all you could do was to cry. You could not speak. You could not say a word. I would understand what you meant, though. You are now grown up, but I simply cannot understand you,” complained a mother of her ungrateful son.

An ungrateful person who breaks the heart of his mother cannot achieve anything all through his life.

One who does harm to his mother could do harm to other people and the homeland, too!

Don’t believe it, if they say of someone that he does not take care of his mother, but there are others he takes care of.

I believe the mother carries with her powers and miracles. This I have witnessed many times in my life. If I am going to be happy or upset tomorrow, I see my mother in my dream.

My dear daughters and sons!

Don’t think that you were not taken care of. Your mother’s careful eyes over you watch out for you day and night. Wherever you are, your mother’s heart is with you.
