quotations about morning
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!"

The grey-ey'd morn smiles on the frowning night,
Chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light.

Came furrowing all the orient into gold.

Rise, happy morn, rise, holy morn,
Draw forth the cheerful day from night;
O Father, touch the east, and light
The light that shone when Hope was born.

An end is come, the end is come, the morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land; behold the day, the morning is gone forth.

CHILO
attributed, Day's Collacon
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?

Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day.

Sweet Silver Blues
One may be alive in the morning,
Then dead at night,
Changing worlds in an instant,
We are like the spring frost,
Like the morning dew
Suddenly gone.
GUISHAN LINGYOU
attributed, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing
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.

A bright morning may bring a dark night.
LEONHARD FUCHS
attributed, Day's Collacon
It is only in the morning that one should marry, read unfavourable reviews, make one's will, beat one's servants, and so forth.
E. T. A. HOFFMANN
"Princess Brambilla", The Golden Pot and Other Tales
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
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
The dusk drew earlier in,
The morning foreign shone--
A courteous, yet harrowing grace,
As guest who would be gone.
EMILY DICKINSON
"As imperceptibly as grief"
Does not the morn break thus,
Swift, bright, victorious.
EMMA LAZARUS
"Matins"
Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,
With charm of earliest birds.
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
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
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.
ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN
"Spring at the Capital"
Early morning does not mince words.
