Mother's Day Quotes and Sayings

It is well said that if one gets to see the pains involved while a woman gives birth to a baby, he will never look down on any woman all his life. Right from rocking the cradle to the unflinching support for the baby's first steps, a mother is always there as a pillar of strength for her child. The tender look in her eyes and the countless sacrifices she makes while babysitting the child, are just a part of her divine nature. One can never buy all the bliss of this world to repay what he owes to his mother, but some mother's day quotes and sayings can surely be of some help to make her feel special.

Mother's Day Sayings

Besides mother's day quotes and sayings one can also plan for some special mother's day gifts, but the basic idea should be to express and not to impress. For a mother, just a small token of the expression of love from her child is more valuable than a gift worth millions.
