There's so much to celebrate about spring! For one, it's the season of growth, bringing beautiful blooms and luscious greenery back into the landscape. It also marks the long-awaited return of sunshine, which makes for the perfect setting to sip on a refreshing spring cocktail. But to fully embrace the season's charm, you'll want to read this collection of the most inspiring spring quotes.

Some are happy quotes, and some are uplifting quotes, like this one from L.M. Montgomery: "That is one good thing about this world... There are always sure to be more springs." Some are practical, like this saying from Margaret Atwood: "In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt." And others invoke religion—they work equally well as Easter quotes. Take Bernard William's words, for example: "The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring." Others are simple enough to use as a spring Instagram caption. This quote from Bishop Reginald Heber reads: “Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.”

These spring quotes all have one thing in common, though: They speak to the renewal, joy, and clarity offered by this beautiful season. Happy reading!
