有關“母愛”的美文佳句不計其數，在贊美母愛的一片呼聲中，如下“母愛·愛母”之言頗讓人有醍醐灌頂之感。或許，稱它們為“醒世警言”不算為過。

**　You're never too heavy for your mother to bear. But try, as you get older, to swap roles once in a while. 母親從不覺得孩子是負累。不過，在你長大以后，不妨偶爾試著交換一下角色。

**　Take the word 'family'. Strike out the 'm' for mother and the 'y' for youth--and all you have left is 'fail'. 看看“家庭”（family）這個字眼吧。劃去代表“母親”（ mother）的“m”和代表“青春”（youth）的“y”——你就只剩下了“失敗”（fail）了。

**　A mother is one through whom God whispers love to his little children. And, yes, sometimes that voice can rise above a whisper, but only because you're not listening.
上帝通過母親向孩子們悄聲傳達他的愛。還有，對了，有時這聲音很響亮，只因你沒有傾聽才認為“愛”是在悄悄傳達。

**　A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.男人愛情人最癡，愛妻子最深，愛母親最久。

**　If a man loves his mother, he will always love his wife. 愛母親的男人，也將會永遠愛妻子。

**　The way to your mather's heart is to eat her food with relish. 能讓母親快樂的方法，就是有滋味地吃掉她做的食物。

**　A mother's love is like a circle. It has no begining and no ending.母愛就像一個圓。沒有起點，也沒有終點。

**　A mother understands what a child does not say.母親最懂孩子心。

**　Real mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grads. It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mummy to Mother. 真正的母親都知道，孩子的成長不是用身高、年齡或年級來衡量的。它是由孩子從“媽媽”到“媽咪”到“母親”的稱呼來記錄的。

**　A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take. 母親可以取代一切，母親的地位卻無人能夠替代。

**　A mother is a person who if she is not there when you get home from school you wouldn't know how to get your dinner, and you wouldn't feel like eating it anyway. 當你放學回家的時候，如果母親不在家里，你就不知道該吃些什么，或者什么都不想吃。

**　Of all the things that come in numbers--plenty of rainbows, stars in the sky, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins--you have but one mother. 你可以有眾多的事物--繽紛的彩虹，閃耀的星星，兄弟姐妹，叔伯姨舅，但是你只有一個媽媽。
