It’s time for a new August quote printable!

The brilliant poppy flaunts her head
Amidst the ripening grain,
And adds her voice to sell the song
That August’s here again.
~ Helen Winslow

Hello August!

It’s August and that means it’s time for a new favorite quote printable! At first, I had trouble even finding quotes for August that didn’t complain about the heat, or allude to summer being almost over. Ahem. There is still plenty of summer ahead, so lets not get ahead of ourselves! Let’s stay present and enjoy the ‘ripe summer’s queen.’ 🙂

Favorite Quote for August

I had a hard time choosing this month. I love R. Combe Miller’s poem for ‘Sweet August’ (you might want to check out next week’s post), as well as Thomas Gunn’s talk about the beautiful August garden. But in the end, the brilliant poppies won me over. Read on for my favorites, then make sure to download your freebie below.

“That August time it was delight
To watch the red moons wane to white.”
~ Algernon Charles Swinburne

“Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun.”
~ Kent Nerburn

“Fairest of the months!
Ripe summer’s queen
The hey-day of the year
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen
Sweet August doth appear.”
~ R. Combe Miller

“How sociable the garden was.
We ate and talked in given light.
The children put their toys to grass
All the warm wakeful August night.”
~  Thomas Gunn

“When summer opens, I see how fast it matures, and fear it will be short; but after the heats of July and August, I am reconciled, like one who has had his swing, to the cool of autumn.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“August creates as she slumbers, replete and satisfied.”
~ Joseph Wood Krutch

And of course my favorite August Quote would evoke an image of poppies in the field!
