Butterfly Sayings 🦋 in 2024

Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly. 

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly. 

‘Just living is not enough,’ said the butterfly, ‘one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.’

Everybody knows what a caterpillar is, and it doesn’t look anything like a butterfly. 

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

Doing voiceovers is so great because even though many people would think it’s just your voice, you really do use all your physicality. I’ve done everything from playing a butterfly to Alice in Wonderland when she’s 10 feet tall, so it allows you to be an actor and build new characters. 

Metamorphosis has always been the greatest symbol of change for poets and artists. Imagine that you could be a caterpillar one moment and a butterfly the next.

Love is like a butterfly: It goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes.

Butterflies are self-propelled flowers. 

Never touch a butterfly’s wing with your finger.

Story is like a butterfly whose wings transport us to another world where we receive gifts that change who we are and who we want to be.

The term ‘breakout’ always makes me think of an inmate or some butterfly emerging out of a cocoon. 

Failure is like a caterpillar before it becomes a butterfly.

Soar up high with the beauty and grace of a butterfly.

A caterpillar is a butterfly in disguise.

 Butterflies are graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable. Butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine.

 The butterfly is a flying flower. The flower is a tethered butterfly.

I think that positivity, real positivity, is like the butterflies. The whole essence of the butterfly: caterpillar, cocoon, winged creature. When I look at a butterfly, I not only see a winged beauty, but I also see a strong beauty.
