Evenings Quotes and Quotations
 We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?  Each morning puts man on trial and each evening passes judgement. I think, what has this day brought me, and what have I given it? Every night before I turn out the lights to sleep, I ask myself this question: Have I done everything that I can.... Have I done enough? Each morning sees some task begin, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose. Judge each day not by it's harvest, but by the seeds you plant. Sum up at night what thou has done by day. Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest. One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody everything every night before you go to bed. The camel, at the close of day, Kneels down upon the sandy plain To have his burden lifted off And rest again. My soul, thou too should to thy knees When daylight draweth to a close, And let thy Master lift the load And grant repose. To carry care to bed is to sleep with a pack on your back. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. - Bible Don't fight with the pillow, but lay down your head And kick every worriment out of the bed. Shed, as you do your garments, your daily sins, whether of omission or commission, and you will wake a free man, with a new life. Thou driftest gently down the tides of sleep. Go to bed early, get up early-this is wise. Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace, The baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, The poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, The indifferent judge between the high and low. O bed! O bed! Delicious bed! That heaven on earth to the weary head! Fatigue is the best pillow. A well-spent day brings happy sleep. It is a delicious moment, certainly, that of being well-nestled in bed and feeling that you shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, not past; the limbs are tired enough to render the remaining in one posture delightful; the labor of the day is gone. Sleep, Silence's child, sweet father of soft rest, Prince whose approach peace to all mortals brings, Indifferent host to shepherds and kings, Sole comforter to minds with grief oppressed. Sleep, that knits up the ravell'd slave of care, The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast. There is only one thing people like that is good for them; a good night's sleep. Sleep is the most blessed and blessing of all natural graces. It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it. Sleep: The golden chain that ties health and our bodies together. Thank God for sleep! And when you cannot sleep, still thank Him that you live to lie awake. Sleep ... peace of the soul, who put-test care to flight. - Ovid Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. There may be those on earth who dress better or eat better, but those who enjoy the peace of God sleep better. General Quotations about Evenings Let us add this one more night to our lives. Fools look to tomorrow; wise men use tonight.
