There's something breathtaking about seeing the world covered in a soft blanket of snow. There are some days when winter seems like the most magnificent season of all. And then, there are those other days. You know: the gloomy, grey, bone-chillingly cold, slushy days that make your heart yearn for summer.
As you brace for more months of winter, find comfort and solace in the wise words of others. Here's a roundup of quotations to inspire you and to help you persevere, all the while remembering that a beautiful springtime awaits you at the other end of a long, cold winter.
