The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
~ Rabindranath Tagore ~

Oh you who are born of the blood of the gods, Trojan son of Anchises, easy is the descent to Hell the door of dark Dis stands open day and night. But to retrace your steps and come out to the air above, that is work, that is labor
~ Virgil ~
Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest

We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.
~ Charles Baudelaire ~
To thine own self be true -; And it must follow as the night the day; Thou canst not be false to any man
~ William Shakespeare ~
-
To all, to each, a fair good night, And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
~ Sir Walter Scott ~
-
Tis the witching hour of night, Orbed is the moon and bright, And the stars they glisten, glisten, Seeming with bright eyes to listen For what listen they?
~ John Keats ~
-
This above all TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE. And it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed there is no winter and no night all tragedies, all ennuis, vanish,-all duties even.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~

Surely your gladness need not be the less for the thought that you will one day see a brighter dawn than this - when lovelier sights will meet your eyes than any waving trees or rippling waters - when angel-hands shall undraw your curtains, and sweeter tones than ever loving Mother breathed shall wake you to a new and glorious day - and when all the sadness, and the sin, that darkened life on this little earth, shall be forgotten like the dreams of a night that is past!
~ Lewis Carroll ~
Neither a borrower nor a lender be For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.
~ William Shakespeare ~
My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light.
~ Edna St. Vincent Millay ~
If the day and the night are such that you greet them with with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, more elastic, more starry, more immortal--that is your success.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision.
~ Carl Sandburg ~

Good night, good night parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
~ William Shakespeare ~
-
Do not despair of life. Think of the fox, prowling in a winter night to satisfy his hunger. His race survives I do not believe any of them ever committed suicide.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
A councilor ought not to sleep the whole night through, a man to whom the populace is entrusted, and who has many responsibilities.
~ Homer ~
If looks couldn't kill by the day can it kill by night?
~ Gilbert Sordebabari ~
Darker and darker but nearer it gets to the brighter
a midnight before a dawn.
~ Blessing Adella ~
