Got a Case of the Mondays? These Funny and Inspirational Quotes Are the Cure

Every week, you suffer from the same malady: a terrible case of the Mondays. We. Have. Been. There. So, to help you start the week off right, we’ve gathered our favorite Monday quotes. Some are positive, others funny. Some are inspirational quotes that are sure to spark a little Monday motivation. Others come from famous song lyrics that will have you humming on your way to work (humming is a cure for the Mondays, don’t you know?)

Still dreading that Monday morning alarm going off? Perhaps the Sunday scaries are to blame, in which case, trying some new weekend activities to stay calm might keep you from overthinking tomorrow's tasks. When Monday morning arrives, choose one of these good morning quotes as your personal mantra—a technique we find especially effective when paired with a cup (or two, or three) of very strong coffee. Changing your mindset to focus on gratitude or success can help too, but don't be hard on yourself. Mondays will be Mondays, and tomorrow is a new day to start fresh.
