52 Best Sunday Quotes, Messages and Blessings

If you’ve always thought of Friday as the best day of the week, you might be looking at things all wrong, because there really is no day like a Sunday. Whether it’s brunch with friends, reading the newspapers in bed, or simply enjoying a leisurely lie-in with nothing demanding your time and attention, Sunday doesn’t rhyme with Funday by chance.

Also the day when many feel closest to God, Sunday is a full 24 hours of having time to do what you want to do, and these Sunday quotes could well make you see the end of the weekend in a different light altogether. Okay, so it might be the last day off before you start work again, but that is surely all the more reason to enjoy it to its max and never waste a single minute.

While Saturdays are busy, packed, and bustling with people all doing the same things like shopping, partying, and doing DIY, the day after is when the world slows down and gives you the chance to breathe. These Sunday quotes will say it better than we ever could, so put the kettle on, make your favorite brew, and peruse these wise words that will help you appreciate the uniqueness of the best day of the week.
