She whom I love is hard to catch and conquer,
Hard, but O the glory of the winning were she won!
Mother's Day Quotes
Most of what you will see here is about love in general, because the Mother page itself is short. The page is assembled from the pages on mothers, love and gratitude.
If you want quotes that are actually about mothers, the Mother page has fewer but more precise ones. For anything you plan to print or say out loud, check the source line and the label next to it.
Love's of itself too sweet; the best of all
Is, when love's honey has a dash of gall.
Let moderation on thy passions wait;
Who loves too much, too much the lov'd will hate.
To set the cause above renown,
To love the game above the prize.
To love and be beloved, this is the good,
Which for most sovereign all the world will prove.
But beauty has wings, and too hastily flies,
And love, unrewarded, soon sickens and dies.
