Best Summer Quotes {Favorite Seasonal Inspiration}

Summer is another of my favorite seasons. I’ve always liked warm, even hot, weather … and I appreciate the slower pace of summer. As a teacher, then homeschooler, it was always fun to take time to reflect and prepare for the new school year. I still like to take time to do that each summer.

 Here are my favorite summer quotes:

“Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June.” Al Bernstein

“Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.” – Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”- F.Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“A life without love is like a year without summer.” Swedish Proverb

“If it could only be like this always — always summer, always alone, the fruit always ripe.” Evelyn Waugh
