(For Mother's day) Proverbs 23:22-26 - The Bible

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee,
and despise not thy mother when she is old.

Buy the truth, and sell it not;
also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice:
and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad,
and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

My son, give me thine heart,
and let thine eyes observe my ways.

The proverbs are attributed to King Solomon (reigned 971-931 BC) (ancient) Israel (2011 is the 400th anniversary of the printing of the King James version of the Bible)
