I just got back from the grocery store, and one of my purchases was the
48-bag size of C____t__l S____n__gs peppermint tea.  On the back is this
quote:

THE HEROISM OF THE AVERAGE MOTHER
"How many thousands of heroines there must be now, of whom we shall never
know.  But they are there.  They sow in secret the seed of which we pluck
the flower, and eat the fruit, and know not that we pass the sower daily
in the streets.  One form of heroism--the most common, and yet the least
remembered of all--namely, the heroism of the average mother.  Ah!  When
I think of that broad fact, I gather hope again for poor humanity; and
this dark world looks bright - this diseased world looks wholesome to me
once more - because, whatever else it is not full of, it is at least full
of mothers." -- Charles Kingsley
