Gift Your Mum A Smile And A Wish

By Cara

Mother's day
"Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living beings," reads a quotation from the Bible.

A woman is said to live three different stages of life – as a girl, as a wife and as a mother. The mother is adored in each part of the universe and given all due respect even by the lord. In the Hinduism, God is worshiped in the form of a mother.

A mother's love sees no limit. It is pure, selfless and eternal. Thus, the literary world has submitted an endless list of works dedicated to mothers.

Here are some famous quotes on 'mother' by well known figures

Calls back the lovely April of her prime.

I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O mother o'mine.
