152 Spring Quotes That Inspire Growth, Joy, and Transformation

It’s Spring again!

As the winter loosens its  cold, icy grip, and the world starts to thaw, spring emerges from the abyss with the promise of rebirth, renewal, and rejuvenation. The Spring season, associated with beautiful flowers, warmer weather, and a longer duration of sunlight, has evoked feelings of joy, excitement, and love. It’s even inspired poets, writers, and philosophers to capture its essence in words.

Spring is a symbolic season that represents growth, hope, new beginnings, fresh starts, and transformation. Many cultures consider Spring as the true New Year and honor it either in addition to or instead of celebrating it on January 1st. Also, the Spring kicks off the Astrological New Year.

As one of the transition seasons (the other one being fall), so many changes occur during the Spring. The weather is unstable at first, windy, rainy, and warm, but then flowers begin to bloom and the temperature consistently stays pleasant. Also, animals come out from hibernation and baby ones emerge.

Many holidays are celebrated during the Spring season. Some of them include: Easter, Passover, Earth Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Ramadan, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, and Juneteenth.

The first day of Spring varies depending upon which part of the world you live in. In the Northern hemisphere, it occurs on March 19th, March 20th, March 21st. In the Southern Hemisphere, it makes its debut on September 22nd or September 23rd.

To celebrate the season, here are some inspiring words that evoke happiness, encourage growth, and remind you of the beauty that is Spring. Whether you’re into quotes about optimism, a little humor, or even biblical verses, there’s something for everyone on this list.
