Fall Quotes


Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all.
Stanley Horowitz
Once more the liberal year laughs out
O'er richer stores than gems or gold:
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is nature's boldest triumph told.
   John Greenleaf Whittier
It is that beautiful time of year that the leaves fall and the trees change color. It is a time of exceptional beauty and almost makes me okay that the warm days of summer are now over. With these quotes we can enjoy fall any time of year.
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.
For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
Edwin Way Teale
Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
George Eliot
Listen!  the wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!
Humbert Wolfe
Then summer fades and passes and October comes.  We'll smell smoke then,
and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation, a
sense of sadness and departure.
Thomas Wolfe
There is no season such delight can bring,
As summer, autumn, winter and the spring.
William Browne, Variety, 1630 
Autumn is a season followed immediately by looking forward to Spring.

Fall Quotes



My heart is a garden tired with autumn,
Heaped with bending asters and dahlias heavy and dark,
In the hazy sunshine, the garden remembers April,
The drench of rains and a snow-drop quick and clear as a spark; 
Daffodils blowing in the cold wind of morning,
And golden tulips, goblets holding the rain --
The garden will be hushed with snow, forgotten soon, forgotten --
After the stillness, will spring come again?
Sara Teasdale, The Garden
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. 
For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
Edwin Way Teale
In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil.  And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb  colour effects as from August to November.
Rose G. Kingsley

As summer, autumn, winter and the spring.
