Weariness Quotes and Quotations
 Can snore upon the flint, when resty sloth Finds the down pillow hard.  One of the most adventurous things left is to go to bed, for no one can lay a hand on our dreams. Sleeping is no mean art. For its sake one must stay awake all day. Sleep faster, we need the pillows. That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep. I never sleep in comfort save when I am hearing a sermon or praying to God. Sleep - kinsman thou to death and trance and madness. Thou hast been called, O sleep! the friend of woe; But 'tis the happy who have called thee so. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. - Bible Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to deed. A skillful man reads his dreams for his self-knowledge; yet not the details, but the quality. What part does he play in them - a cheerful, manly part, or a poor, drivelling part? However monstrous and grotesque their apparitions, they have a substantial truth. For some must watch, while some must sleep; thus runs the world away.
