Here we stand in the no-man’s-land between winter and spring… in other words, March. Full of hope and frustration, March is tempestuous and teasing. I hope you enjoy these month of March quotes as much as I do.
To give you an idea of my current frame of mind, I’m watching snow blow off my neighbor’s roof as I write this. Although our winter has been comparatively mild this year, it feels like I and everyone I know is just waiting for that magical day on the calendar… the end of winter.

However, where I live, March usually means two or three glorious days of 60-degree weather, usually accompanied by wind that will blow your winter coat off and sunshine that makes you want to recline in a lounge chair and pretend you’re at the beach. And then reality comes calling with a snowfall and/or below-freezing days once again.
In the interest of keeping hope alive — while knowing reality must exist alongside it — here are some of my favorite month of March quotes and sayings.

― Vivian Swift, When Wanderers Cease to Roam: A Traveler’s Journal of Staying Put

March and Spring Quotes
Because according to the calendar, the first day of spring officially falls in March. A post about March quotes wouldn’t be complete without some mention of what it’s like to live in one season while perhaps still feeling as if winter hasn’t quite ended yet.

When cumulus clouds roar across the sky.
When robins return, when children cheer,
When light rain beckons spring to appear.”

Not present in the year
at any other period
When March is scarcely here.”

In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.”

The March winds are the morning yawn.”
