When you’re feeling down, rainbow quotes are a good reminder that seeing those beautiful colors in a rainbow after a rainy day means there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Without a little suffering, we wouldn’t understand the value of the beautiful times we experience. When life gets tough, it’s our job to make it better and create a rainbow. An interesting fact about rainbows is that everyone sees a different rainbow as it isn’t a physical thing. A rainbow is purely the result of light from the sun and the rain. What we see depends on our individual perception and vision, just how we all have different and individual ways of being happy. Because of the light and the rain, earth is the only planet in the solar system capable of making a rainbow. Lucky us! Here are a few Rainbow quotes to brighten your day.
