“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.”

“He is blessed who is assured that the animal is dying out in him every day by day, and the divine being established.”

“If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a spectulator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.”

“The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes which slumbers all the rest of the day and night... All memorable events, I should say, transpire in morning time and in a morning atmosphere. The Vedas say, “All intelligences awake with the morning.”

“There is more day left to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.”

“Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.”

“Many men walk by day; few walk by night. It is a different season.”
