quotes and puns

I’ll be honest: it’s rare that I see a sunrise. But every time I do, I wonder why I don’t wake up for the sunrise more often.

I love gathering meaningful quotes, and so I’ve curated the most heart-filling quotes about sunrise (and thrown in some funny sunrise quotes for good measure!)

These sunrise quotes make fantastic sunrise captions for Instagram or other social media, as well as good quotes for journaling, journal prompts, and inspiring you to get up, get out of bed and enjoy the beautiful, fleeting sunrise.

If you’re getting up for some sunrise yoga, here are some yoga quotes that may also do the trick!

Here are my favorite sunrise quotes and sunrise captions for you to use!

Sunrise Captions

Sunrise is a girl’s best friend.

Sunrise: proof the best things in life are free.

Like snowflakes, no two sunrises are alike.

Rise and shine!

Rising to the occasion

Here comes the sun

I want to soak up the sun

Rise before the sun does

Rise and shine: it’s sunrise time

It’s a beautiful morning

I got a pocket full of sunshine

I’m walking on sunshine

The sun will rise and so will I

Even the darkest night ends and the sun rises again

Watch sunrises, not Netflix

Heaven is a place on earth

I love the peace of morning light

Slow down and watch the sunset

Let the sun rise in front of you and in you

Let there be sunrise

Skip the snooze button. Catch the surnise.

Sunrise, coffee, adventure.

Mountains are some of the most beautiful places on earth — and as a result, is it any surprise we’re often at a loss for words for how to describe these wondrous places?

As a lifelong reader and lover of the English language (I majored in it and creative writing back in college, and I still write poetry to this day!) and am amateur mountaineer, I’ve gathered my favorite mountain quotes for you.

Use these quotes about mountains however you like — they make fantastic mountain captions for Instagram, inspiring quotes to write on a vision board or bullet journal,

Mountain Climbing Quotes

“Good climbing is about climbing with heart and with instinct, not ambition and pride.”

— Bear Grylls

“The greatest joy in climbing is to be in charge of one’s own destiny.”

— Chris Bonnington

“You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a mountain.”

— Walter Bonatti

“The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain; he is inspired by it.”

– William Arthur Ward

“Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.”

― David McCullough Jr.

“Climbing is as close as we can come to flying.”

— Margaret Young

“He who climbs upon the highest mountains laughs at all tragedies, real or imaginary”

— Friedrich Nietzsche

“Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up.

Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself.”

— Robert M. Pirsig

“There are two kinds of climbers, those who climb because their heart sings when they’re in the mountains, and all the rest.”

— Ansel Adams

“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”

– Edward Abbey

“The climb speaks to our character, but the view, I think, to our souls.”

– Lori Lansens

“A lone peak of high point is a natural focal point in the landscape, something by which both travelers and local orient themselves. In the continuum of landscape, mountains are discontinuity — culminating in high points, natural barriers, unearthly earth.”

― Rebecca Solnit

“The mountains were so wild and so stark and so very beautiful that I wanted to cry.”

— Jane Wilson-Howarth

“I take all day to climb mountains and then spend about 10 minutes at the top admiring the view.”

– Sebastian Thrun

“Mountains, according to the angle of view, the season, the time of day, the beholder’s frame of mind, or any one thing, can effectively change their appearance. Thus, it is essential to recognize that we can never know more than one side, one small aspect of a mountain.”

— Haruki Murakami

“I’m a person of the mountains and the open paddocks and the big empty sky, that’s me, and I knew if I spent too long away from all that I’d die; I don’t know what of, I just knew I’d die.”

Mountaineering Quotes

“Life’s a bit like mountaineering – never look down.”

– Edmund Hillary

– Edmund Hillary

“Climbing has shown me a courageous, strong side of myself, a beautiful bravery. Other days I’ve seen pitiful weakness. I’ve watched myself crawl, belly-flat, across a mountainous landscape of fear. Climbing has shown me that I am all those things: strong and weak, brave and cowardly, both immune to and at the mercy of the death of death, all at the same time.”

— Steve House

“I think, every time I am on the mountain, I am just so thankful to be there.”

“You never climb the same mountain twice, not even in memory. Memory rebuilds the mountain, changes the weather, retells the jokes, remakes all the moves.”

— Lito Tejada-Flores

“At bottom, mountains, like all wildernesses, challenge our complacent conviction – so easy to lapse into – that the world has been made for humans by humans. Most of us exist for most of the time in worlds which are humanly arranged, themed and controlled. One forgets that there are environments which do not respond to the flick of a switch or the twist of a dial, and which have their own rhythms and orders of existence. Mountains correct this amnesia. By speaking of greater forces than we can possibly invoke, and by confronting us with greater spans of time than we can possibly envisage, mountains refute our excessive trust in the man-made. They pose profound questions about our durability and the importance of our schemes. They induce, I suppose, a modesty in us.”

― Robert MacFarlane

“Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.”

— Anatoli Boukreev

Lifted high above the level of human sounds and habitations, among the wild expanses and colossal features of Nature, we are thrilled in our loneliness with a strange fear and elation – an ascent above the reach of life’s expectations or companionship, and the tremblings of a wild and undefined misgivings.”

– J. Sheridan Le Fanu

“Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.”

– George Bernard Shaw

– Rene Daumal

“When you stand at the bottom of the mountain and look up at the mountaintop, the path looks hard and stony, and the top is obscured by clouds. But when you reach the top and you look down, you realize that there are a thousand paths that could have brought you to that place.” 

– Roz Savage

“The secret of the mountain is that the mountains simply exist, as I do myself: the mountains exist simply, which I do not.
