quotations about morning
Men all do about the same thing when they wake up.
JOHN STEINBECK
Cannery Row
Every morning has a unique story. There are always some seeds of possibilities waiting to sprout.
AMIT RAY
Peace, Bliss, Beauty, and Truth
Till morning fair
Came forth with pilgrim steps in amice gray.
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
The Sun was still in bed, but there was a lightness in the sky over the Hundred Acre Wood which seemed to show that it was waking up and would soon be kicking off its clothes.
A. A. MILNE
Winnie-the-Pooh
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive--to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love--then make that day count!
STEVE MARABOLI
Life, the Truth, and Being Free
If I'm working this hard in the morning, I'd prefer it be because my man has woken me up with an eight-inch nudge.
ERIN MCCARTHY
Hard and Fast
As when the golden sun salutes the morn,
And, having gilt the ocean with his beams,
Gallops the zodiac in his glistening coach.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Titus Andronicus
Each morning is a new beginning in our life. Each day is a finished whole. The present day marks the boundary of our cares and concerns. It is long enough to find God or lose Him, to keep faith or to fall into disgrace. God created day and night for us so that we need not wander without boundaries, but may be able to see in every morning the goal of the evening ahead.
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER
Meditations on the Word
Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.
EMILY DICKINSON
To Mrs. Edward Tuckerman, April 1885
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day. It is a blessed baptism which gives the first waking thoughts into the bosom of God.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
The last dreams dance like shadows on the walls, and the morning is like a slow fish emerging from the seabed.
ALEX MANLY
Their Strange Moves: Vendor of Illusions
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Romeo and Juliet
It is early, early morning. It's that time when it's still dark but you know the day is coming. Blue is bleeding through black. Stars are dying.
MARKUS ZUSAK
Underdog
Great streets of silence led away
To neighborhoods of pause;
Here was no notice, no dissent,
No universe, no laws.
By clock 'twas morning, and for night
The bells at distance called;
But epoch has no basis here,
For period exhaled.
EMILY DICKINSON
"Void"
Morning summons us to action.
TSCHERNING
attributed, Day's Collacon
It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.
H. G. WELLS
The Time Machine
Morning has broken,
Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird.
Praise for the singing!
Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word!
ELEANOR FARJEON
"Morning Has Broken"
Every morning is new as the last one, uncreased
as the not quite imaginable first.
JANE HIRSHFIELD
"Sky: An Assay"
Now there is hardly anything but magic abroad before seven o'clock in the morning. Only the disciples of magic like getting their feet wet, and being furiously happy on an empty stomach.
STELLA BENSON
Living Alone
The day begins to break, and night is fled,
Whose pitchy mantle over-veil'd the earth.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Henry VI, Part I
