30+ Fire Quotes That Will Spark Joy And Rekindle The Flame Within Your Soul

When a woman becomes a mother — by birth, adoption, or otherwise — a small flame is ignited within her. That flame never stops burning. No matter how tired she gets or how weak she feels, she keeps going. She is stronger than she knows. There’s nothing more powerful than the love she feels for her kid. No matter how hard life gets, she refuses to give up or give in. Her child needs her, so she presses on. But life is hard. And, sometimes, she needs a little extra reminder that everything’s gonna be OK. A reminder of who she is and what she’s capable of doing. A reminder of the fire burning within her. For that reason, we put together an incandescent list of fire quotes to empower women as they walk this challenging (yet rewarding) path.

Motherhood is a journey. And, occasionally, we lose our way. Let this page light your path when you feel lost and need help getting back on track. We recommend bookmarking our collection of fire quotes to refer back to anytime you need a spark of inspiration.
