What is October known for?
October came from the Latin word Octo which means 8. It was initially the eighth month in the Roman calendar. That is until Numa Pompilius added the months of January and February. But the name of the month did not change because it was already deep-rooted.
A number of celebrations and events happen in October. To name a few, you have World Mental Health Day, Indigenous People’s Day, and International Day of the Girl Child. And then you also have United Nations Day on October 24th.
Of course, aside from these events who can forget that October is the 2nd month of Autumn? And the well-known Halloween?
So, gathering from these facts and events in October, our quotes for the month will center on Autumn and Halloween. In addition, to commemorate the establishment of the United Nations, quotes about unity will be included.
