33 mother-daughter quotes that are full of love

The bond between mother and daughter is like no other — hard to put into words, but these mother-daughter quotes might come close.

In 2023, TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie gushed about finding comfort in her mom, Nancy, during a period of self-doubt.

“When I was in my 30s, I really wished to be married and to be a mom, and things just did not happen that fast for me,” Savannah shared in 2023. “And my mom’s confidence that I would be a mom — even as the years ticked by and ticked by and ticked by — meant so much to me.

“She said, ‘Of course you’ll be a mom, and you’re going to be a wonderful mom,’” Savannah continued. “And for her to have that confidence and faith was so meaningful to me. It got me through some really hard times.”

Her mom, of course, was right. Savannah married Michael Feldman and the couple welcomed two children, Vale and Charley.

Science has even studied the mother-daughter bond. According to a 2016 study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the part of the brain that regulates emotions is more similar between mothers and daughters than any other intergenerational pairing.

Jennifer Garner was brought to tears talking about the relationship with her mom during a 2015 TODAY appearance, and Angelina Jolie called her mother “extraordinary” in an interview with Anderson Cooper, adding, “I could never be as good of a mother or person (as her).”

Kate Hudson once said she was “damn proud” of being her mother’s daughter.

“I really look at that as a real blessing because the relationship between mother and daughter is very complex and to be able to talk about the importance of the relationship is something that I look forward to,” Hudson told the Associated Press about Goldie Hawn in 2013. “It really informed such a huge part of who I am and the confidence that I have as a woman. It really does come from the closeness that I have with mommy.”

But these celebrities aren’t the only grateful daughters to comment on the love they have for their mothers. The mother-daughter bond has always been a source of thoughtful inspiration.
