A love like friendship, steady.
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.

Or the bees their careful king.

Love is a circle that doth restless move
In the same sweet eternity of love.
’Tis love, not years or limbs that can
Make the martyr, or the man.
