Best Summer Quotes {Favorite Seasonal Inspiration} - Bits of Positivity (2024)

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

“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.” L.M. Montgomery

“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

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