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
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
Till morning fair
Came forth with pilgrim steps in amice gray.
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
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
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
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
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
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
Every morning is new as the last one, uncreased
as the not quite imaginable first.
JANE HIRSHFIELD
"Sky: An Assay"
Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.
EMILY DICKINSON
To Mrs. Edward Tuckerman, April 1885
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
Now morn, her rosy steps in th' eastern clime
Advancing, sow'd the earth with Orient pearl.
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
An hour before the worshipp'd sun
Peer'd from the golden window of the east.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Romeo and Juliet
Dawn has power to fertilise the most matter-of-fact vision.
JOHN GALSWORTHY
The Forsyte Saga
On, on we went, till at last the east began to blush like the cheek of a girl. Then there came faint rays of primrose light, that changed presently to golden bars, through which the dawn glided out across the desert. The stars grew pale and paler still, till at last they vanished; the golden moon waxed wan, and her mountain ridges stood out against her sickly face like the bones on the cheek of a dying man. Then came spear upon spear of light flashing far away across the boundless wilderness, piercing and firing the veils of mist, till the desert was draped in a tremulous golden glow, and it was day.
H. RIDER HAGGARD
