The trouble with weather forecasting is that it’s right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.

                                                                                          —Patrick Young

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.

                                                                                          —Maori Proverb

Alas! must it ever be so? / Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go, / And fight our own shadows forever?

                                                            —Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton

Every mile is two in winter.                                     —George Herbert

Don’t knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn’t start a conversation if it didn’t change once in a while.

                                                                                            —Kin Hubbard

To shorten winter, borrow some money due in spring.

                                                                                                —W.J. Vogel

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

                                                                                  —George Santayana

There’s one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbor’s.                 —Clyde Moore

Of winter’s lifeless world each tree / Now seems a perfect part; / Yet each one holds summer’s secret / Deep down within its heart.  —Charles G. Stater

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.

                                                                                               —Ruth Stout

I like these cold, gray winter days. Days like these let you savor a bad mood.    —Bill Watterson

Winter came down to our home one night / Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow, / And we, we were children once again.                                                                                        —Bill Morgan, Jr

The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer.  I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.

                                                                                         –John Burroughs

Spring, summer, and fall fill us with hope; winter alone reminds us of the human condition.

                                                                                 –Mignon McLaughlin

Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do - or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.

                                                                                     –Stanley Crawford

Keep your faith in beautiful things; / in the sun when it is hidden, / in the Spring when it is gone.                –Roy R. Gibson

One kind word can warm three winter months.

                                                                                   —Japanese Proverb

In the bleak midwinter / Frosty wind made moan, / Earth stood hard as iron, / Water like a stone; / Snow had fallen, snow on snow, / Snow on snow, / In the bleak midwinter, / Long ago.

                                                                                — Christina Rossetti
