Mother's Day Quotations

Only One Mother

"Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens
and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters,
aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world."
Kate Douglas Wiggin

Mother's Day Poetry

"One lamp - thy mother's love - amid the stars
Shall lift its pure flame changeless, and before
The throne of God, burn through eternity –
Holy - as it was lit and lent thee here."

Quote for Mother's Day

A Mother's Love

“A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.”
Helen Steiner Rice, “A Mother’s Love”

Mother's Day Quote

Mom, Make It Better

When it hurts, sometimes the best medicine is mum's love and support:

"Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother."

Quotation for Mother's Day

A Wonderful Mother

People eulogise mothers in different ways, some through song, others through poetry. Award-winning American artist Edna Hibel is known for honoring motherhood through her beautiful artwork. No wonder Hibel's fine art, collectibles and gifts like her annual Mother's Day porcelain collector plates are so popular.

“GOD made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.”
Pat O’Reilly, “A Wonderful Mother”

And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly sweet
With murmured blessings over sleeping babes."

Mother's Day Quotation

Mom's Pride & Joy

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

Award-winning American artist Edna Hibel is known for her beautiful illustrations of children. A mother herself, and also a grandmother and a great-grandmother, all children are lovely in her eyes. The quintessential mother.

What child hasn't squirmed as his mum shows him off? If that's your kind of mom, be grateful. Too many children don't have mothers to care for them. Thank God for yours.
