Even with the rich, visual banquets of content that constantly greet us on every social media platform we use, words are still the number one way to communicate. Today, Appamatix has a list of the best Instagram captions you can use on Instagram; good, weighty words that will help you to let everyone known what you mean and how you mean it, whether you’re going for sappy, funny, or sarcastic.
A picture can speak a thousand words, sure, but it’s fairly easy for a message to get lost in a thousand words, right? This makes captioning and posting that much more important when you’re interacting with friends, followers, and acquaintances on Instagram. If you want to communicate a specific meaning or feeling, you can try to find a picture or link that sums it up fairly well, or you can just put some words to good use and end up with much more specific results.
Here’s a trick that you can’t afford to miss out on, concerning the way that people post and caption in 2016. We live in an online culture that’s defined by what’s come before it. You’ll be judged based on how clever you are, but how clever you are isn’t determined by how original you can be. Rather than being forced into saying something entirely originally, more often, your words will be examined based on how well they apply to a given picture or situation.
For this reason, we can bring you a list of “best of” quotes that you can use word-for-word (to great success, I might add) or to inspire your own thoughts and create captions that truly capture your current thoughts. Going “original” is risky, but using well-known quotes in interesting ways can be just as rewarding. The choice is yours!

Whew! If that isn’t an exhaustive list, I don’t know what is! I can’t think of a single person that would go through that banquet of quotes and captions without either coming away with a handful that they want to use, or the inspiration they needed to make a handful of their own. No matter where you fall on that particular spectrum, this list of the best quotes and captions are sure to serve you well.
When you go to start captioning pictures on Instagram, always remember to make sure that your chosen words add value to the image you’re applying them to. If one of your goals is to gain more followers (and retain the followers that you have, too) then your words should carry just as much value as your visuals!
Of course, just because these quotes and captions made our “best of” list doesn’t mean that they’re always going to be the greatest that you find on Instagram. It might end up being the case that there are tons of good quotes and captions that we haven’t even seen yet! If you happen across any, let us know by posting in the comments below!
