Every year, the cold of winter melts away, and Spring brings a new beginning. At the same time, the wonderlands of winter do indeed inspire their comforts and cosiness, which could deny the appeal of the yearly thaw. The snow melts and buds appear on the trees while the temperatures slowly rise—all signs point to good days ahead. In the next few weeks, flowers will be sprouting up, and we’ll hear countless birds chirping and see them flying overhead regularly. It’s such a refreshing time! The warm sunshine feels so good on our skin and melts away our winter blues. Colourful blooms are popping up, and it’s the perfect time to start planting the garden.

Spring has always inspired me. For artists, writers, poets, and even comedians; Spring is the harbinger of hope. It offers relief from the barren and, often, challenging winter. It is the season of birth for the animals and plants- life is renewed as ice melts, the ground softens, and seeds take root. We can’t wait to welcome the warmth of Spring back.

To celebrate the beauty of the season and the flowers returning, here are 160 of our favourite spring quotes. From sweet flower quotes to Easter quotes and even a few all-purpose happy quotes thrown in for good measure, there’s something here for just about everyone. After all, as Anita Krizzan puts it, “Spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer.”
