70 Best Mother-Daughter Quotes That Prove This Family Duo Is Pretty Iconic
"A mother and daughter's love is never separated."
There's no family bond quite like a mother-daughter duo, that's for sure! That's not to dismiss any of the other pairs in the family tree, but rather to highlight the sweet relationship between a mom and her little girl. Ree Drummond has two daughters herself, Alex and Paige, and you can see the way she beams whenever they appear on one of her live streams or an episode of her Food Network show. With Mother's Day sneaking up, it's probably a good time to let you know about this list of mother-daughter quotes. Not only do they perfectly describe the relationship between a mom and her daughter, but they also might bring a tear to your eye.
Some of these girl mom quotes are so true that they're even a little bit funny. Take this quote by Katherine Howe, for example: “Of course, mothers and daughters with strong personalities might see the world from very different points of view.” Others really dial into that tender feeling, like this quote from Maya Angelou: "My mother is so full of joy and life. I am her child. And that is better than being the child of anyone else in the world." But if there's something that all of these quotes share, it's the mere fact that they speak to mothers and daughters everywhere.
After scrolling through these, you might find that these quotes would fit wonderfully in a Mother's Day card or even make a great Instagram caption!
