For the month of September, I bring you a compilation of inspirational quotes about autumn, peace, and good harvest. The facts and events happening in September inspired this list of 30 motivational quotes.
What is September known for?
In the Gregorian calendar, September is the 9th month of the year and has 30 days. However, in the Roman calendar, September was the 7th month of the year. The month got its name from the Roman word “Septem” meaning 7.
But Numa Pompilius added January and February to the Roman calendar around 713 B.C. As a result, September slid to number 9.
Additionally, September is also known as the harvest month. Because this is the time for gathering the remaining crops and storing them for the winter.
Other interesting facts in September include the end of Summer and the start of the Autumn season in the northern hemisphere. On the other hand, the opposite season holds true for those in the southern hemisphere.
Among the many celebrations and events happening in September are:
- Labor Day in the U.S. and Canada
- Rosh Hashanah, a Jewish holiday to celebrate the start of the new year
- Grandparents day
- Constitution Day in the U.S., and
- International Day of Peace, which is every 21st of September
These interesting facts and events in September inspired me to come up with a list of inspirational quotes. These quotes attribute to what September is best known for such as the start of Autumn season, Harvest month, and Peace.
