spring signifies rebirth, renewal and hope as demonstrated in these inspiring spring quotes. Philosophers, thinkers and writers have continued to use the metaphor of spring to explain the power of remaining positive and optimistic when things go downhill. I love this collection of motivational spring quotes that urges us to hold on to positivity. After all, like Shelley said "O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?"

as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me resignation
as the leaves which die in the fall.
Earth teach me courage
as the tree which stands all alone.
Earth teach me regeneration
as the seed which rises in the spring."
- William Alexander

From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
