Raise your hand if you've got a mama? Oh good, then everyone can make use of these 10 lovely Mother's Day quotes about love that celebrate just how wonderful those leading ladies of your lives actually are.

Write it in a card, send it in an email, or type up a text... just make sure she knows that you appreciate her not only for who she is as an individual, but who she is as a mother. They say there is no job like it, after all.
