"Summer", The Seasons

Tags: James Thomson


Rise early, that by habit it may become familiar, agreeable, healthy, and profitable. It may, for a while, be irksome to do this, but that will wear off; and the practice will produce a rich harvest forever thereafter; whether in public or private walks of life.

Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.

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

What irritates me most of all about these morning people is their horribly good temper, as if they have been up for three hours and already conquered France.

Every morning is a blank page awaiting your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. What will you paint today? Or what will you burn into existence with your thoughts, feelings, intentions, and the sanctified force of follow-through.

KIRK BYRON JONES

Morning B.R.E.W.


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


There are few of us that are not rather ashamed of our sins and follies as we look out on the blessed morning sunlight, which comes to us like a bright-winged angel beckoning us to quit the old path of vanity that stretches its dreary length behind us.

GEORGE ELIOT

Mr. Gilfil's Love Story

Tags: George Eliot


He got out of bed and peeped through the blinds. To the east and opposite to him gardens and an apple-orchard lay, and there in strange liquid tranquility hung the morning star, and rose, rilling into the dusk of night the first grey of dawn. The street beneath its autumn leaves was vacant, charmed, deserted.

She says you're not awake until you're actually out of bed and standing up.

RICHELLE MEAD

Blood Promise


The morn is up again, the dewy morn,
With breath all incense, and with cheek all bloom,
Laughing the clouds away with playful scorn,
And living as if earth contained no tomb,
And glowing into day.

LORD BYRON

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

Tags: Lord Byron


Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,
With charm of earliest birds.

JOHN MILTON

Paradise Lost

Tags: John Milton


In aiming at the life of blessedness, one of the simplest beginnings to be considered, and rightly made, is that which we all make every day--namely, the beginning of each day's life. There is a sense in which every day may be regarded as the beginning of a new life, in which one can think, act, and live newly, and in a wiser and better spirit. The right beginning of the day will be followed by cheerfulness permeating the household with a sunny influence, and the tasks and duties of the day will be undertaken in a strong and confident spirit, and the whole day will be well lived.

JAMES ALLEN

Morning and Evening Thoughts

Tags: James Allen


The longest way must have its close--the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE

Uncle Tom's Cabin


It is not bird, it has no nest;
Nor band, in brass and scarlet dressed,
Nor tambourine, nor man;
It is not hymn from pulpit read--
The morning stars the treble led
On time's first afternoon!

EMILY DICKINSON

"Melodies Unheard"

Tags: Emily Dickinson


Hope is a renewable option: If you run out of it at the end of the day, you get to start over in the morning.

BARBARA KINGSOLVER

Daylight is nobody's friend.
God comes in like a landlord
and flashes on his brassy lamp.

ANNE SEXTON

"You All Know the Story of the Other Woman"

Tags: Anne Sexton


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.
