The Earth - neither the biggest nor the most extravagant (having in mind that on Saturn, it literally rains diamonds), yet somehow absolutely the most spectacular planet in the Solar System. Not saying all of them, because there still might be a second Earth somewhere in the vast endlessness of space! Anyway, the Earth isn’t only spectacular for having us as its inhabitants, but rather despite it. Its beauty is unmatched neither by Saturn’s diamonds nor by the impressive gaseous qualities of Jupiter. To count all the aspects in which the Earth is the front-runner in mesmerizing beauty would be an absurdly menial task, so, instead, we are offering you our collection of Earth Day quotes to commemorate the day.

These beautiful quotes, besides praising the gifts the Earth gives us, also remind us to step back and look at it as one living, breathing organism, of which we are a huge part. In fact, it is us that shall decide the future of our blue planet, home of uncountable living organisms, including humans. So, you should definitely expect that some of these smart quotes will be talking about that because preserving such beauty is, indeed, the greatest task. But, without sounding too grim, these uplifting quotes are also likely to make your day this much better and the commemoration of Earth Day that much more important.

So, scroll on down below to check out our selection of the most beautiful Earth Day quotes. Their charm isn't exactly matched to the charm of their material, but they are nevertheless worth reading and memorizing. Don’t forget to vote for the best quotes and share this article with your friends!
