The only thing more satisfying than a donut is having the right donut quotes to post with it.

There's even a national holiday in celebration of the sweet treat that no one knows how to spell correctly.

Is it donut? Doughnut? Technically it's both, believe it or not. Who cares — as long as it's in your belly, am I right? And in a cute donut quote for your Instagram caption.

According to the Smithsonian Magazine, donuts came to be a few different ways, but the gist of it goes like this: a mother from the mid-19th century wanted to provide pastries that wouldn't spoil so easily for her son's long shipping voyages through New England's waterways.

She "put hazelnuts or walnuts in the center, where the dough might not cook through, and in a literal-minded way called them doughnuts," writes David A. Taylor.

Then, of course, her son took all the credit for the maybe-even-more famous donut hole.

Either way, the love for donuts is real. And we've made that apparent with the hundreds of funny donut quotes all over the internet.

Here are 100 of the best donut quotes and cute donut-themed photos and donut captions for everyone with a sweet tooth.
