Positive Monday quotes to start the day.

These Monday quotes are each unique paths to the same mountaintop, with the summit being a positive outlook that can change your Monday and the whole week ahead.

Every morning is a fresh beginning. Every day is the world made new.”
Sarah Chauncey Woolsey
The beginning is the most important part of the work.”
Plato
The sun himself is weak when he first rises; and gathers strength and courage as the day goes on.”

Tips when using Monday quotes.

The golden rule when using Monday quotes: know your audience.

Not everyone loves Mondays. If you come to the office with all the positive Monday quotes you can find, people will get tired of your aphorisms pretty early in the day.

Not everyone hates Mondays, either. If you come in with only the sarcastic Monday quotes, the underlying negativity might ruin someone else’s mood.

Most of the time, you can pick up on someone’s Monday vibe easily. When in doubt, try to mix things up. Put a positive Monday quote on a poster or banner, then send a funny Monday quote in a social media graphic or on a flyer to start a Monday morning meeting with a laugh.

For some added introspection, you can even take the quiz to the right to see what kind of Monday person you really are.

Exercise: What’s your Monday personality?

Take this quick quiz to discover what kind of Monday person you really are. This will help you choose the perfect Monday quotes for you.

  2. Which is closest to your morning routine? Choose from: jump out of bed (A), hit snooze several times (B), drag yourself grudgingly out of bed (C), or get right up and plan your day as you get ready (D).
