Spring Quotes
B
ehold, my friends, the spring has
come; the Earth has gladly received
the embraces of the Sun, and we
shall soon see the results of their love.
Sitting Bull
I believe in process. I believe in four
seasons. I believe that winter’s tough, but
spring’s coming. I believe that there’s a
growing season. And I think that you realize that in life, you grow. You get better.
Steve Southerland
You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep the spring from coming.
Pablo Neruda
The beautiful spring came; and when
nature resumes her loveliness, the human
soul is apt to revive also.
Harriet Ann Jacobs
Spring has returned.
The Earth is like a child that
knows poems.
Rainier Maria Rilke
The day the Lord created hope was
probably the same day He created spring.
Bernard Williams
People ask me what I do in winter
when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you
what I do. I stare out the window and
wait for spring.
Roger Hornsby
Spring won’t let me stay in this house
any longer! I must get out and breathe the
air deeply again.
Gustav Mahler
Spring is when you feel like whistling
The three little butterfly brothers
even with
a shoe full
of slush.
Doug
Larson
In the
spring, at
the end of the day, you
should smell like dirt.”
Margaret Atwood
The spring wakes us, nurtures us and revitalizes us. How often does your spring come?
If you are a prisoner of the calendar, it comes
once a year. If you are creating authentic power, it comes frequently, or very frequently.
Gary Zukav
Every spring is the only spring, a perpetual astonishment.
Ellis Peters
There were once three little butterfly brothers, one
white, one red, and one yellow. They played in the
sunshine, and danced among the flowers in the
garden, and they never grew tired because
they were so happy.
One day there came a heavy rain,
and it wet their wings. They flew
away home, but when they got
there they found the door locked
and the key gone. So they had to
stay out of doors in the rain, and
they grew wetter and wetter.
By and by they flew to the red
and yellow striped tulip, and said,
“Friend tulip, will you open your
flower-cup and let us in till the storm is over?”
The tulip answered, “The red and yellow butterflies may enter, because they are like me, but the
white one may not come in.”
But the red and yellow butterflies said, “If our
white brother may not find shelter in your flowercup, why, then, we’ll stay outside in the rain with
him.’’
It rained harder and harder, and the poor little
butterflies grew wetter and wetter, so they flew to
the white lily and said, “Good Lily, will you open
your bud a little so we may creep in out of the
rain?’’
The
lily
answered:
“The white
butterfly may
come in, because he is like
me, but the red
ones must stay outside
and yellow
in the storm.’’
Then the little white butterfly said,
“If you won’t receive my red and yellow
brothers, why, then, I’ll stay out in the rain with
them. We would rather be wet than be parted.’’
So the three little butterflies flew away.
But the Sun, who was behind a cloud, heard
it all, and he knew what good little brothers the
butterflies were, and how they had held together
in spite of the wet. So he pushed his face through
the clouds, and chased away the rain, and shone
brightly on the garden.
He dried the wings of the three little butterflies,
and warmed their bodies. They ceased to sorrow,
and danced among the flowers till evening, then
they flew away home, and found the door wide
open.
