Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of a mother's role in providing support and guidance. Rather than solely relying on her, it suggests that a mother's true role is to empower her children to become independent and self-sufficient individuals. A good mother not only offers a helping hand when needed, but also nurtures her children's abilities and teaches them the skills necessary to navigate life on their own, ultimately making dependence on her unnecessary.
