Best March Quotes

March is the third month of the Gregorian calendar but based on the Roman and Julian calendar, it is the first month. 

The Romans named March from the Latin word Martius or the Roman god of war, Mars. Most probably because March is the continuation of military campaigns after being interrupted by winter.

On the other hand, the Anglo-Saxon's Old English name for March is Hrēðmonath, based on the pagan fertility goddess Hreða, or Rheda. They must have chosen the goddess to commemorate the start of spring, wherein flowers blossom and animals mate.

Quotes About March And The Blossoming Spring

Spring is in full bloom! It officially begins on March 20, when the sun moves into the northern hemisphere and brings longer days, warmer temperatures, and blossoming flowers.

The temperature during March ranges between 44-72 degrees Fahrenheit and the daylight averages around 12 hours. March's birth flower, the daffodil, also perfectly symbolizes the month since it blooms in late winter or early spring. The cheerful yellow flowers represent new beginnings that coincide with the coming beauty of the season.

Quotes About March Activities That Will Get You Busy For The Month

Not only is March a time for welcoming warmer weather, but it's also a month for celebrating women. We can join in discussions about women's empowerment and gender equality issues or simply acknowledge the strong women in our lives.

Even before women in the USA had the right to vote through the 19th Amendment, the first National Woman's Day (NWD) was observed across the United States in 1909. Eventually, the United Nations recognized the occasion in 1975, and it became International Women's Day. They started annual themes in 1996, with the first one entitled "Celebrating the past, Planning for the Future." 

In 2023, the theme is to #EmbraceEquity. To be part of this great cause, pose by hugging yourself, post the image with the hashtag, and participate in the official events organized by the International Women's Day organization. For more on the theme, you might also like our equality and diversity quotes

Additionally, world wildlife day is on the 3rd of March, and across the world, people wear green to celebrate St Patrick’s day and everything Irish on the 17th of March.

Other March Quotes By Authors And Personalities

The last month of the first quarter is already here. What are the New Year's resolutions you set last January? Did you make progress? Goal setting can be exciting, but it takes science to do it effectively. 

First, we have to understand that goal setting is a way to restructure our brain, which has an ability called neuroplasticity. Based on a meta-analysis of research, most studies concluded that specific and challenging goals lead to higher performance1. The stronger emotion we attach to our targets we have better attention, persistence, and motivation to reach it.

After reading the rest of our March quotes, dream bigger dreams as you finish the first quarter.
