Everyone loves a good inspirational and motivational quote. We all have that one quote or two that's stuck to us like glue that we can refer to when we need a pick-up during the times we need help the most. Now that summertime is nearly over, sometime we catch some of the end of summer blues. Summer is a time of relaxation, excitement, rejuvenation, and pure happiness. Summer allows us to take time away from what we normally devote all of our time to during the fall, winter, and spring (whether that's work, school, or both), and spend more time on ourselves. After a busy year, we deserve to be happy in the summer sunshine with more personal time, time spent with friends, and good food, drinks, and wild vacation destinations. As all this fun starts to slow down as August peeks around the corner, it's no wonder why we get those summer blues.

While you start to get ready for all the craziness that comes with the fall season as the summer comes to an end, remember that you can have a little piece of summer that you can look to all year round until next summer -- the perfect summer infused quotes! If you start to crave the little things that make the summer so special -- salty air, ocean breezes, time spent in bare feet, outdoor gatherings, waves crashing on the shoreline, the late sunsets and early sunrises -- hold onto these quotes, and let them stick to you to help you live as free as the sea throughout all the seasons of the year. Don't let the summer blues get you down. Wave good-bye to the summer season, and begin to look forward to all the exciting new things to come in the fall, winter, and spring with these empowering yet summer vibe-filled quotes:
