Get into the spirit of the season with these inspiring words.
Although we could do without the annual April showers (even if they do bring May flowers), the spring is an exciting time to look forward to year after year. The weather starts to get warmer, the sun shines a little brighter and life just seems full of new beginnings. And while it might be a bit hard to elaborate on the feeling you get when feel a nice breeze and the air smells like blooming flowers, famous people, like Leo Tolstoy, Charles Dickens, John Denver and more have managed to capture it with words in a way we can't. We've pulled together a few of their inspiring words, along with other happy spring quotes from that really capture what we love about the season.
Soon you'll be outdoors, riding bikes, planting gardens and enjoying the sunny and slightly chilly spring weather, and when it comes time to share photos of all the fun on social media, these quotes make for the perfect caption to pair with any post.
As Walter Hagen best said, "You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way."
