Or perhaps you are a Mother yourself and you just want meaningful quotes to remind you of your love for your child(ren). Whatever reason you are looking for quotes about motherhood, there are tons of them!

"To understand a mother's love, bear your own children." -- Chinese Proverb
Isn't this so true? I never really "got" how much my Mom loved me until I had my own children.

"Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." --Elizabeth Stone
Isn't that the truth? You love a child so much, with every inch of your soul, and as they grow you have to learn to let them go.

"A 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
Mothers would give up anything for their children. They go without if need be so their children can have everything they need and then some. This quote reminds us of that motherhood principle.

"The phrase "working mother" is redundant." ~Jane Sellman
Isn't that the truth! Any mother is a working mother regardless of whether or not she works outside the home or not. Being a mother is the most difficult yet most rewarding jobs I have ever had.

"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
Life totally changes and one is reborn and anew the moment they become a Mother. The world seems different and you automatically have this need to protect and shield this little person you just met yet love with every inch of your being from any harm.

"Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother." ~Oprah Winfrey
This quote is great because not everyone becomes a mother by giving birth. There are some women who become mothers by adoption and there are also someone who are motherly but may not actually have children of her own calling her Mom.

"There's nothing like a mama-hug." ~Adabella Radici
Even though I'm grown, when my world is falling a part, I want to talk, be with, or get a hug from my Mom. I don't think some of us ever outgrow that.

"She never quite leaves her children at home, even when she doesn't take them along." ~Margaret CulkinBanning
Even when a Mother is a part from her children, she is thinking of them, she is with them. No matter how far a part Mother and child may be, her child always holds a special place in her heart.

"Children and Mothers never truly part, bound together by the beating of one another's heart." ~ Charlotte Gray
This quote reminds us that although mother and child may not be together, that they are still connected. It's a perfect quote for birthmothers or mothers who's children are grown and have left the nest.

"Being a full time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs since the payment is pure love." ~Mildred B. Vermont
This quote reminds us that motherhood is hard work and although you don't get paid for it monetarily, it is one of the best and most fulfilling jobs there is. The unconditional love of a child is precious and not something that can be bought.

So, there you have it; ten great quotes for Mothers! Happy Mother's Day!
