10 Autumn Quotes To Celebrate Cooler Weather

When we're so wrapped up in the joy of being able to wear scarves again and are busy sipping the deliciousness of our pumpkin spice lattes, fall seems like the greatest season ever. It's so great, in fact, that you can completely ignore that chill in the air, and forget about the fact that it's only going to get colder. So, you might be looking for some inspirational autumn quotes to make that cooler temperature seem, well, not so miserable and threatening.

Like everybody else, I absolutely love fall. And, part of what I love most is that crisp and refreshing air. But, we all know that it doesn't take long for all of the leaves to fall off the trees — and the temperature always drops along with them.

And, there's nothing to remind you of that fact like a few great quotes. So, I've rounded up 10 quotes to help you focus on the beauty of fall — crisp weather or not.
