75 Best Mother’s Day Quotes to Remind Her She’s One of a Kind
"When someone asks you where you come from, the answer is your mother."
You don't need a calendar reminder to remember how incredible moms are! But at the same time, Mother's Day is the ultimate excuse to slow down and really show it. It's more than just flowers or a fancy Mother's Day brunch (though she definitely deserves those); it's about reminding the woman who raised you, guided you, and loved you unconditionally just how much she means. And while Mother's Day gifts are lovely, the words you share with her might be the thing she holds closest to her heart. Not sure how to put all that love into writing? These Mother's Day quotes are a great place to start! They're perfect for a card, a text, or simply a sweet moment together.
Of course, these sweet Mother's Day messages aren't just for cards. Use them as this year's Mother's Day Instagram caption and inspire your friends just as much as your mom—or simply read one aloud over dinner. We have mother-daughter quotes and mother-son quotes that capture your bond perfectly. Balance things out with a hilarious mom joke, and you've got yourself a winning toast! Your mom does deserve the extra attention on this special day. As Gilda Radner said, "Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It’s huge and scary—it’s an act of infinite optimism." ❤️
