Mother's Day Quotes Part Deux

I ran across my previous post about Quote Garden and some great Mother's Day quotes that I found there. A really good quote can truly stand on its own and I love statements that are profound, sum up the feelings of a moment or get you to think. So, of course, my stumble inspired me to look up a few more quotes. These may come in handy as you reflect upon Mother's Day and as you get ready to write those cards!

Quotes from Mother's Day Celebration:

Making a decision to have a child--it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~ Elizabeth Stone

Women do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers. They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be persons. Liberation was meant to expand women's opportunities, not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in new pursuits can also be found in mothering. ~Elaine Heffner

There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it. ~Chinese Proverb

Quote found in the Huffington Post:

My mother had a good deal of trouble with me but I think she enjoyed it. ~Mark Twain

Quotes from Parade:

Happy are those children who have a mother to whom they can pour out their hearts and always count on her understanding. ~ Eberhard Arnold

Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face. ~ George Eliot

You may have tangible wealth untold. Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be. I had a mother who read to me. ~ Strickland Gillilan

Inspiration from Quote Garden:


Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. ~Charles R. Swindoll, The Strong Family

A mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go. ~Author Unknown

A mother's heart is a patchwork of love. ~Author Unknown

Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother. ~Oprah Winfrey
