"I have learned to place a high estimate upon the love of mother. I have often said, and will repeat it, that the love of a true mother comes nearer being like the love of God than any other kind of love."
(Joseph F. Smith, “Love of Mother and Father,” Ensign, Aug 2004, 8–10. Joseph F. Smith became an orphan at the age of 14. He served a mission to Hawaii at the age of 15, where he became deathly ill and was nursed to health over a period of months by a Hawaiian woman who he later referred to as "My mother, my dear old mother.")
