The Best Mother’s Day Quotes To Make Mom Smile

ADVERTISEMENT

Let’s face it. After a life spent dealing with our daily whims and struggles, moms deserve a little pampering from their kids. Whether it’s a fancy vacation to Hawaii or a new pair of slippers (see what better fits your wallet), mom deserves it all. Not everyone can say they have been blessed enough to enjoy the love of a good mother, that person who cherishes you despite all your flaws. If, like me, you’re among the lucky ones, Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to honor the special bond shared with our moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, and mother figures.

While you think about the gift (sorry, we cannot help you with that), it is also nice to express in words how much your mother means to you. Below you can find some of our favorite great quotes about mothers that are perfect for Mother’s Day. Famous authors, writers, philosophers, celebrities, and even characters in movies have had their own way of expressing how much they appreciated the woman that made them the person they are. You can write down one of these quotes about motherhood in your message or use them for inspiration to create your own. Up to you!

“The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.” — Elaine Heffner

Tigerpacingthecage 2 years ago

Yes and that's why it's so important to try to stay happy in life too. Obviously not all the time, it's human to have a range of emotions but find something to make you generally happy. Children notice if you are miserable (from a bad marriage or lack of own interest outside parenthood etc) and will have an idea that that's what life is about. Make yourself happy so you can show happiness to your kids.

Writer on a quest to explore every corner of the world, one country at a time. Fueled by my love for Arcane, oversized hoodies, and weightlifting, I try my best to bring even more fun energy to Bored Panda. My cup of tea? Pop culture, funny content, sharing interesting facts about the world, and creating listicles for fellow Pandas. When I’m not crafting articles, my eyes are still glued to a screen — be it binge-watching my favorite shows, leveling up in video games, or learning Spanish with Duolingo. Always on the hunt for the ultimate playlist, I scour Deezer to find the right tunes to listen to while working on my creative projects.

I must admit I have a hard time with the quotes that implies that the most beautiful thing you could do as a mother is to fully sacrifice yourself for the sake of your kids. I know it's a sad reality in many ways but sad mothers don't make happy children. I think we need to re-think that one. I know I, for one, felt like motherhood was a trap (and it sort of is) until I learned the importance to show my kids that being an adult doesn't mean just being sad and to sacrifice. You need to fill YOUR cup with energy so you can bring joy to your kids. Your life should not be over once you have kids.
