Mother’s Day Quotes

Sunday, May 8, 2011 by Lolli 2 Comments

As a tribute to my own Mother and Mothers everywhere, I’ve gathered up several quotes and poems that sum up how I feel about my own mom.

Happy Mother’s Day!

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~ Washington Irving
 
All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother. ~ Abraham Lincoln
 
Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning tears of love,
None so devotional as that of “Mother,”
Therefore, by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me.
~Edgar Allan Poe
 
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother. ~Oprah Winfrey
 
Anne and baby Laura

 
A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest. ~Irish Proverb
 
Richer than Gold 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
 
laura weddingA mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan
 
If the whole world were put into one scale, and my mother in the other, the whole world would kick the beam. ~Lord Langdale (Henry Bickersteth)
 
An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy. ~Spanish Proverb
 
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
 
The sweetest sounds to mortals given
Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.
~William Goldsmith Brown
 
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children. ~William Makepeace Thackeraymom_laura_byu
 
Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
 
It’s not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it. ~From the television show The Golden Girls
 
God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers. ~Jewish Proverb
