25 Best Rainbow Quotes to Brighten Your Day
“It’s when you follow the rain clouds that you find out where the rainbows are hiding.” 🌈
Rainbows are one of nature's greatest gifts. They're a sight beyond comprehension and they serve as a reminder that there is beauty even after the storm. If you've been lucky enough to see a rainbow in person, then you know just what we mean. Just ask Ree Drummond who says that rainbows give her that "everything-is-going-to-be-okay feeling." Even her hubby Ladd can't help but send her photos of rainbows from the Drummond ranch when he sees one. But before you go posting any rainbow photos to social media, be sure to read our list of the best rainbow quotes!
Whether you're looking for a spring instagram caption or just an uplifting quote to share with a friend, it's safe to say that these rainbow quotes will brighten anyone's day. Some are song lyrics, like this one from Kacey Musgraves: “There's always been a rainbow hanging over your head,” while others are quotes by authors. For example, one of our favorites by Steve Maraboli reads, "Life can be a storm, but your hope is a rainbow and your friends and family are gold.” They'll fit right in with our list of happy quotes, too. But why stop there? If you really want to brighten someone's day, we've got a list of the best rainbow recipes!
