quotations about morning
Morn,
Wak'd by the circling hours, with rosy hand
Unbarr'd the gates of light.
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, "aw shit, he's up!"
STEVE MARABOLI
Unapologetically You
But the morning is a time for exultant expressions, for then the soul awakens with all nature and rises in rapturous praise over blessings which it is our daily lot to enjoy.
J. M. H.
"Morning Meditations", The Bay View Magazine, Volume 17
Every morning is a blank page awaiting your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. What will you paint today? Or what will you burn into existence with your thoughts, feelings, intentions, and the sanctified force of follow-through.
KIRK BYRON JONES
Morning B.R.E.W.
Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.
MEISTER ECKHART
attributed, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing
Morning is the fresh page of nature.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
Will there really be a morning?
Is there such a thing as day?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
EMILY DICKINSON
"Out of the Morning"
He got out of bed and peeped through the blinds. To the east and opposite to him gardens and an apple-orchard lay, and there in strange liquid tranquility hung the morning star, and rose, rilling into the dusk of night the first grey of dawn. The street beneath its autumn leaves was vacant, charmed, deserted.
WALTER DE LA MARE
The Return
I have always disliked the morning, it is too responsible a time, with the daylight demanding that it be 'faced' and (usually when I wake for I wake late) with the sun already up and in charge of the world, with little hope of anyone usurping or challenging its authority. A shot of light in the face of a poor waking human being and another slave limps wounded into the light-occupied territory.
JANET FRAME
Daughter Buffalo
Does not the morn break thus,
Swift, bright, victorious.
EMMA LAZARUS
"Matins"
Lena's hair was sticking out in about fifteen directions, and her eyes were all small and puffy from crying. So this was what girls looked like in the morning. I had never seen one, not up close.
KAMI GARCIA
Beautiful Creatures
Morn in the white wake of the morning star
Came furrowing all the orient into gold.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Princess
Morning will find us curled beside the graves
we dug, without strength to roll ourselves in.
CALVIN BEDIENT
"Modern Love", The Violence of the Morning: Poems
Early morning does not mince words.
JOHN GALSWORTHY
The Forsyte Saga
In the morning I woke like a sloth in the fog.
LESLIE CONNOR
Waiting for Normal
Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.
EDWARD FITZGERALD
Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
Morning is like the tide coming in, washing over the debris of half-finished lives and presenting once again, for this day at least, new opportunities for holiness. It is a kind of sacrament -- a means of grace, if you will -- and like all means of grace, it really does deliver what it promises.
IAN STACKHOUSE
The Day Is Yours
Morning can always be counted on to bring us back to a more realistic level.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
The Night of the Iguana
What irritates me most of all about these morning people is their horribly good temper, as if they have been up for three hours and already conquered France.
TIMUR VERMES
Er is wieder da
Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
