Whether drama, comedy or cartoon, famous movie moms inspire us to be a little better ...or teach us what not to do! To celebrate Mother's Day, I thought it be fun to revisit some favorite movie quotes about mothers.

1. "I can?t have a baby because I have a 12:30 lunch meeting" ~Baby Boom

2. "I find it amusing. Men are supposed to be made out of steel or something. I just sat there. I just held Shelby's hand. There was no noise, no tremble, just peace. Oh god. I realize as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life" ~Steel Magnolias

3. "Once upon a time your mama knew what it meant to shine" ~Hope Floats

4. "I wasn't unhappy! Look, maybe I was a little confused, maybe I was a little frustrated, but I knew what I was doing was important, because it means something to raise human beings. What saw me through was pride" ~Mr. Mom

5. "I know you like me. I know it. For the last year or two, you've been pretending like you hate me. I love you very much. I love you as much as I love anybody, as much as I love myself" ~Terms of Endearment

6. "Any dog can give birth. That doesn't make it a mother" ~Losing Isaiah

7. "Oh, Jo. Jo, you have so many extraordinary gifts; how can you expect to lead an ordinary life? You're ready to go out and - and find a good use for your talent. Tho' I don't know what I shall do without my Jo. Go, and embrace your liberty. And see what wonderful things come of it" ~Little Women

8. "Mama says they was magic shoes. They could take me anywhere" ~Forrest Gump

9. "You know every story, every wound, every memory. Their whole life's happiness is wrapped up in you... every single second. Don't you get it? Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she'll be thinking, 'I wish my mom was here.'" ~Stepmom

10. "From your head to your toes, you're not much, goodness knows. But you're so precious to me, cute as can be, baby of mine" ~Dumbo
