Mornings Quotes and Quotations
 There never was night that had no morn.  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. - Bible Sadness flies on the wings of the morning, and out of the heart of darkness comes the light. Out of the scabbard of the night, By God's hand drawn, Flashes his shining sword of light, And lo, the dawn! For what human ill does not dawn seem to be an alleviation? The weariest night, the longest day, sooner or later must perforce come to an end. Beware of desp'rate steps; the darkest day lived till tomorrow will have pass'd away. Have hope. Though clouds environs now, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow- No night but hath its morn. Snow endures but for a season, and joy comes with the morning. The morning is wiser than the evening. For the mind disturbed, the still beauty of dawn is nature's finest balm. Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes. ... Keep hope alive. Each day the world is born anew for him who takes it rightly. 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. Each day is a new life. Seize it. Live it. We sail, at sunrise, daily, "outward bound." Always begin anew with the day, just as nature does. It is one of the sensible things that nature does. With each sunrise, we start anew. I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning. Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done. Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them-every day begin the task anew. Each day is a little life; every waking and rising a little birth; every fresh morning a little youth; every going to rest and sleep a little death. I love the challenge of starting at zero every day and seeing how much I can accomplish. Whether one is twenty, forty, or sixty; whether one has succeeded, failed or just muddled along; whether yesterday was full of sun or storm, or one of those dull days with no weather at all, life begins each morning! ... Each morning is the open door to a new world-new vistas, new aims, new tryings. To be seeing the world made new every morning, as if it were the morning of the first day, and then to make the most of it for the individual soul as if each were the last day, is the daily curriculum of the mind's desire. Do not say, "It is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name. God had infinite time to give us.... He cut it up into a near succession of new mornings, and, with each, therefore, a new idea, new inventions, and new applications. We are new every day. No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it. Spill not the morning (the quintessence of the day!) in recreations, for sleep is a recreation. Add not, therefore, sauce to sauce. ... Pastime, like wine, is poison in the morning. It is then good husbandry to sow the head, which hath lain fallow all night, with some serious work. Do not shorten the morning by getting up late; look upon it as the quintessence of life, and to a certain extent sacred. Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate. He'd jolt up in bed every morning, sit quietly for a moment, and you could feel those wheels spinning in his mind as he planned his day. Then he'd hit the floor almost on the run. Clay lies still, but blood's a rover Breath's a ware that will not keep. Up lad: when the journey's over There'll be time enough to sleep. Even if a farmer intends to loaf, he gets up in time to get an early start. Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. I thank You God for this most amazing day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes. I get up and I bless the light thin clouds and the first twittering of birds, and the breathing air and smiling face of the hills. I'm a most lucky and thankful woman. Lucky and thankful for each morning I wake up. For three wonderful daughters and one son. For an understanding and very loving husband with whom I've shared fifty-two blessed years, all in good health. If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly. Here we stand between two eternities of darkness. What are we to do with this glory while it is still ours? Your morning thoughts may determine your conduct for the day. Optimistic thoughts will make your day bright and productive, while pessimistic thinking will make it dull and wasteful. Face each day cheerfully, smilingly and courageously, and it will naturally follow that your work will be a real pleasure and progress will be a delightful accomplishment. You should always know when you're shifting gears in life. You should leave your era; it should never leave you. The first thing each morning, and the last thing each night, suggest to yourself specific ideas that you wish to embody in your character and personality. Address such suggestions to yourself, silently or aloud, until they are deeply impressed upon your mind. Everyday ask yourself the question, "Do I want to experience Peace of Mind or do I want to experience Conflict ?" It was only a sunny smile, And little it cost in the giving. But like morning light, it scattered the night, And made the day worth living. To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy ... is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them. Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it. ... If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. When you rise in the morning, form a resolution to make the day a happy one for a fellow creature. As soon as you open your eyes in the morning, you can square away for a happy and successful day. It's the mood and the purpose at the inception of each day that are the important facts in charting your course for the day. We can always square away for a fresh start, no matter what the past has been. This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good, but what I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of my life for it! When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, and not loss; good, and not evil; success, and not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it. I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the year's. Every new day begins with possibilities. It's up to us to fill it with the things that move us toward progress and peace. Here hath been dawning another blue day: think, wilt thou let it slip useless away? Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself. Today a thousand doors of enterprise are open to you, inviting you to useful work. To live at this time is an inestimable privilege, and a sacred obligation devolves upon you to make right use of your opportunities. Today is the day in which to attempt and achieve something worthwhile. Get out of bed forcing a smile. You may not smile because you are cheerful; but if you will force yourself to smile you'll... be cheerful because you smile. Repeated experiments prove that when man assumes the facial expression of a given mental mood, any given mood, then that mental mood itself will follow. He who every morning plans the transactions of the day and follows that plan carries thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life. A man without a plan for the day is lost before he starts. Never be afraid to sit awhile and think. Only the thinking man lives his life, the thoughtless man's life passes him by. My credo is etched on my mirror in my bathroom and I see it when I brush my teeth in the morning. It says, "Don't worry, Be Happy, Feel Good." When you see that first thing, and you reflect on it, the rest of the day seems to glide by pretty well. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces; let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored, and grant us in the end the gift of sleep. A day dawns, quite like other days; in it, a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us. One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it. Great opportunities come to all, but many do not know they have met them. The only preparation to take advantage of them is ... to watch what each day brings. There will be something, anguish or elation, that is peculiar to this day alone. I rise from sleep and say: Hail to the morning! Come down to me, my beautiful unknown. The sun is new each day. Someday the sun is going to shine down on me in some faraway place. With every rising of the sun, think of your life as just begun. I feel very happy to see the sun come up every day. I feel happy to be around. ... I like to take this day- any day-and go to town with it. Look to the East, where up the lucid sky The morning climbs! The day shall yet be fair. Each golden sunrise ushers in new opportunities for those who retain faith in themselves, and keep their chins up.... Meet the sunrise with confidence. Fill every golden minute with right thinking and worthwhile endeavor. Do this and there will be joy for you in each golden sunset. Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it. What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn! Sunrise: day's great progenitor. Put yourself in competition with yourself each day. Each morning look back upon your work of yesterday and then try to beat it. The morning has gold in its mouth. Do you know what the greatest test is? Do you still get excited about what you do when you get up in the morning? Oft when the white, still dawn lifted the skies and pushed the hills apart, I have felt it like a glory in my heart. Sometimes I have believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. The mind is found most acute and most uneasy in the morning. Uneasiness is, indeed, a species of sagacity-a passive sagacity. Fools are never uneasy. Day's sweetest moments are at dawn.
