by Ni'Kesia Pannell

The 4th of July is one of summer's biggest holidays. Whether you're hanging out at the beach with friends or barbecuing in the backyard with family, the holiday brings some much-needed quality time and fun memories. Along with all the good vibes, 4th of July also offers up some pretty awesome photographic moments and, if you're like me, each one of them will find their way right to Instagram. Unfortunately though, no Independence Day picture is Instagram worthy without a fitting caption. So, having some awesome 4th of July quotes to put on Instagram will definitely take the coolness of your photo to the next level.

For me, seeing photos on Instagram that have a cool quote related to the picture increases my chance of liking it — especially on a holiday. Even though 4th of July is a more serious holiday that focuses on freedom, there are quotes that can be used to inspire you to capture a picture while out enjoying the day. Likewise, the same quote can be used to help remind others what the day represents and encourage them to be more loving towards others.

So, if you're already narrowing down your list of captions for the perfect 4th of July Instagram moment, here are 15 quotes that you may want to consider.
