Famous Mother's Day Quotes & Sayings

Victoria Knight

Mother's day is a day to celebrate the friendship and companionship in your life, in the form of your mother. Here are some famous quotes to read and enjoy.

Mother's day is a special day, when you show your reverence to your mother for all the efforts and sacrifices she made and continues to do so to be a dedicated mom. It is an occasion to express your love for all her unconditional loving over the years. Moms, in broad terms are simple, strict, traditional, soft, and cool; all at the same time. They have been, are, and will always be the centre of attraction for the kids; everything mothers do or speak holds tremendous importance in the eyes of a child.

For every child, his mommy is the best, a celebrity in her own right. And though all kids love their mothers, often, they miss to express it. Hence, mother's day is an occasion to give tribute to motherhood, expressing your love and affection through cards, letters, greetings, notes, and famous quotes. A brilliant idea it is.

Listed below are some famous quotes, which would make your mother feel on cloud nine.

Mother's Day Love Quotes

Victoria Knight

The relationship which is shared by a mother and her child is priceless in its truest sense. From the day of your birth, you remember her bestowing her love upon you for nothing in return at all. The toil and hardships that she faces to let you grow peacefully are unimaginably big. Things she sacrificed for your prosperous future are beyond belief.

However, she never complained and went on being that sweet mother of yours. In return, to honour this divine entity a day was devoted entirely to her and was called Mother's Day. It was in the year 1914, when the American president Woodrow Wilson proclaimed every second Sunday of May as a national holiday, officially declaring it as a Mother's Day. It's a tribute to all the mothers of this world: celebrated to honour all the mothers and an expression of gratitude for the hardships they have gone through.

So, show them your gratitude with choicest selection of words, by expressing your love with these quotes.
