International Bath Day: Famous Quotes That Will Inspire You To Take A Relaxing Dip

International bath day is celebrated every year on June 14 to honor Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, who discovered the law of hydrostatics.

Archimedes discovered that "a body immersed in fluid loses weight equal to the weight of the amount of fluid it displaces." The legend says that the great scholar and mathematician was in a bath when he realized this principle behind hydrostatics. Archimedes is said to have jumped out of the bath screaming Eureka-meaning I have found it - as he ran through the streets of Syracuse in Greece.

Today, International Bath Day is marked as a day to remind people to enjoy a relaxing bath. Bath times are not just a time to unwind after a long day, it is a good self-care routine that often helps people to find new inspiration, ideas and discoveries like Archimedes.

Parents can introduce fun activities using bath toys to teach young children the basic principles of floatation.

International Bath Day is a good excuse to grab your favorite read and indulge in a nice long relaxing bubble bath. Here are some quotes from famous people across the world that will inspire you to soak yourself in a warm bath today.
