Remember how hard it was to swap those lazy summer days for early mornings, algebra homework and pop quizzes? (Yeah, we're glad that's over.) Going back to school can feel like a chore, but I must admit, there’s some excitement to it, too. After all, nothing hits the spot quite like a fresh batch of school supplies (including 64 shiny new Crayola crayons). Throw in a new wardrobe, backpack, lunchbox and your kid will (hopefully) be waiting in anticipation for the school bus.

To get them in the school spirit, sneak some funny and inspirational words of wisdom (from the likes of Taylor Swift, Zendaya and Amy Poehler) into their notebook—it may win you brownie points. Fortunately, we found 75 back-to-school quotes to motivate your kids for the academic year ahead, so they can reach their full potential. And a few quotes for teachers, because educators need motivation too.
