“Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
Thomas Hardy
“Opportunities are like sunrises -- if you wait too long, you miss them.”
William Arthur Ward
“Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.”
Walt Whitman
“What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?”
E. M. Forster
“The Lord has turned all our sunsets into sunrise.”
Clement of Alexandria
“The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.”
John Muir
“If every year is a marble, how many marbles do you have left? How many sunrises, how many opportunities to rise to the full stature of your being?”
