20 inspirational quotes that celebrate mothers and motherhood

Saturday May 11, 2019 , 4 min Read

There is no one who can take the place of a mother. Her love is unconditional and selfless. The ability to give birth, nurture, and protect a child fiercely is what makes a mother so special. There is no one else we seek out when we are in pain, hurt, and looking for a shoulder to cry on. Mother knows best, and we agree.


On the eve of Mother’s Day, we celebrate mothers and the pivotal role they play in our life with these inspirational quotes.
