MORNING QUOTES III

quotations about morning

Each morning is a fresh beginning. We are, as it were, just beginning life. We have it entirely in our own hands. And when the morning with its fresh beginning comes, all yesterdays should be yesterdays, with which we have nothing to do. Sufficient is it to know that the way we lived our yesterday has determined for us our today.

RALPH WALDO TRINE

In Tune With the Infinite


Dawn of a brighter, whiter day
Than ever blessed us with its ray--
A dawn beneath whose purer light all guilt and wrong shall fade away.

Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say;
Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday?

EDWARD FITZGERALD

Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

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"

Tags: Emily Dickinson


In aiming at the life of blessedness, one of the simplest beginnings to be considered, and rightly made, is that which we all make every day--namely, the beginning of each day's life. There is a sense in which every day may be regarded as the beginning of a new life, in which one can think, act, and live newly, and in a wiser and better spirit. The right beginning of the day will be followed by cheerfulness permeating the household with a sunny influence, and the tasks and duties of the day will be undertaken in a strong and confident spirit, and the whole day will be well lived.

Paradise Lost

The dusk drew earlier in,
The morning foreign shone--
A courteous, yet harrowing grace,
As guest who would be gone.

"As imperceptibly as grief"

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.

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit

Tags: Henry Ward Beecher


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


The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!

EMILY DICKINSON

"A Tempest"

Tags: Emily Dickinson


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

The longest way must have its close--the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE

Uncle Tom's Cabin


The morning is like a window, the day like a wall, the night like a mirror.

CHANG HSI-KUO

The City Trilogy


I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
with clean blood
and organized drawers.
I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
at night when no one else is alive
or awake

CHARLOTTE ERIKSSON

The Glass Child


In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.

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"


Rise early, that by habit it may become familiar, agreeable, healthy, and profitable. It may, for a while, be irksome to do this, but that will wear off; and the practice will produce a rich harvest forever thereafter; whether in public or private walks of life.
