I have heard it said that winter, too, will pass, that spring is a sign that summer is due at last. See, all we have to do is hang on with these quotes.

Margaret Atwood

“Spring is the time of plans and projects.”

Leo Tolstoy

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”

Pablo Neruda

“The deep roots never doubt spring will come.”

Marty Rubin
