Tomorrow is mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day in the UK - Across the land at around 8am (OK maybe more like 7am) homes will be filled with the sound of breakfast in bed jangling on wobbly trays as it is served up by little hands. Homemade cards, flowers and kisses will be lavished upon these women who hold entire little (or not so little) worlds together. The very lucky among us might even get a bit of fabled 'me time' to laze in a bath (sans little plastic octopi) or read a Grazia (uninterrupted) with a cup of tea (a hot one!). Ah we love our mums and we love being mums, so much so it's got us feeling pretty sentimental, so here are our 10 favorite ever quotes about Mothers: 

1. “Motherhood: All love begins and ends there”  Robert Browning

2. “Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws” Barbara Kingsolver

3. “A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them” Victor Hugo

4. “Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love” Stevie Wonder,
