Fall leaves quotes for a burst of color in your next project.

One of the defining images of autumn is a landscape filled with falling leaves, each a different color, waltzing as they descend. Even for people in areas without deciduous trees, it’s easy to imagine children playing in leaf piles and the trees slowly undressing as the weather cools.

History’s poets and songwriters have been particularly inspired by fall leaves over the ages. Famous fall quotes capture their beauty in countless metaphors and personifications.

Fall color quotes bring a warm tinge to your day, so use them freely. When the leaves are turning, these fall weather quotes capture their beauty in inspiring ways.

"How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.”
John Burroughs
"October gave a party; the leaves by hundreds came.”
George Cooper
"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.”

Fall quotes—inspirational sayings to squirrel away.

Motivational fall quotes borrow in a big way from the metaphors that fall is known for. The changing leaves, so beautiful as they die, and the hibernation that awaits both make us reflect. Positive fall quotes look at the cyclical nature of fall as part of a bigger picture to put other things in perspective—whatever we use it to represent.

Inspirational fall quotes aren’t just for autumn, either. You can save some, use them on posters, share them in cards, and compile them in collages to tap into the inspiration anytime.

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
"Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.”
Washington Irving

Fall change quotes to turn a new leaf.

When it’s time to batten down the hatches for fall, it might seem like life suddenly stagnates. The pending winter is inescapable.

Outdoors, though, the leaves change. They fall, and the ground and plants change with them. The air becomes progressively crisper, like the crunchy apples harvested for all that cider.

Fall vibe quotes highlight these changes and suggest that change could be due elsewhere, too.

If there’s something in your life that needs to change, what better time than fall? Use these fall change quotes to tap into inspiration and insight wrapped into memorable sound bites. These are good for cards and personal letters if you know someone who needs a push. They’re also perfect to save for your own inspiration.

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
"The tints of autumn... a sunset in the leaves.”
John Greenleaf Whittier
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
Albert Camus

Funny fall quotes to warm the chilly air.

Funny fall quotes are just as amusing for fans of fall as they are for those who already miss summer.

"October gave a party; the leaves by hundreds came.”
George Cooper
