Walk Into September Full of Optimism by Reading These Quotes About the Month
There should be a scientific study conducted on the wonders of September—because how can a month be *that* majestic? It's the month that wraps up the summer so beautifully that we're always sad to say goodbye—and welcomes the fall season at just the right time, making up for the grief with its' vibrant colors and autumn foliage. All this to say—we love September! So much so that we decided to create a list of quotes that channel the season for what it is.
These September quotes are a mix of happy quotes and inspirational quotes. (You can never go wrong with a little pick-me-up!) There are also some included here that could work as cute fall Instagram captions and others that are perfect for an end of summer Instagram caption. Then, there are some that could work as both! Take this quote by Helen Hunt Jackson, for example: “By all these lovely tokens, September days are here. With summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer.” See? You really get the best of both worlds!
All of these quotes are true in their own way. Read through them, and let us know in the comments which one you resonated with the most!
