This collection holds 204 mothers day quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Alicia Keys, James Russell Lowell and Ralph Waldo Emerson.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.
