Mother’s Day Quotes: A Mother’s Love
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. ~Honoré de Balzac
I believe the deep abyss is an abyss of love. The capacity of a mother’s love to forgive, turn the other cheek, and always receive a child back into her arms is among God’s most amazing accomplishments. God displays his heart through the forgiving, unconditional love showered on each of us by our mother.
Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together. ~Pearl S. Buck
Pearl S. Buck’s quote about mothers speaks great truth. Mothers scold, kiss, hug, reprimand, kiss boo-boos and make them all better. Their capacity to do this is borne of love.
A mother’s love is instinctual, unconditional, and forever. ~ unknown
It is too bad that whoever penned these word’s about a mother’s love is unknown. I have never heard a mother’s love described so eloquently.
Mother’s Day Quotes: Motherhood
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh
It is the birth of a child that begins not one life, but two. A mother never understands her capacity for love, concern, care, courage, and faith until she holds a baby in her arms. Then, she is truly a mother.
Motherhood is priced of God, at price no man may dare to lessen or misunderstand. ~Helen Hunt Jackson
Helen Hunt Jackson drove home the heart of motherhood with this perfect quote for Mother’s Day. Only a mother can begin to understand the price of motherhood. Then, I don’t believe a mother nor her child ever realizes the true value of motherhood. Motherhood is a royal pronouncement that cannot be purchased with silver and gold.
When I stopped seeing my mother with the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself. -Nancy Friday
Not only do our mother’s give physical birth, but throughout our lives their job is to guide us in becoming who we are. Both births are painful. Through the first physical pain she gains an infant, through the later bittersweet pain she gains a young man or woman.
Mother’s Day Quotes: Mother and Child
I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. ~Abraham Lincoln
The bond of mother and child is strengthened through prayer. As adults we learn to cling to those precious words often spoken over us, or about us to God, in prayer.
I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine – she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights. ~Adabella Radici
Mother’s often learn a deep capacity for love when they have children. However, as children, it is as we grow that we come to understand the powerful role our mother has played in our life.
The mother’s heart is the child’s school-room. ~Henry Ward Beecher
It is our mothers who hold our best interests at heart. It is from day one that we begin to learn of life, love, and the world around us from our mothers.
“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
No matter what life brings, joy or sadness, success or failure, our this Mother’s Day quote so well summarizes the unconditional love and acceptance we may always return to in the heart and arms of our mother.
