“Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.”
“The doctor seemed especially troubled by the fact of the robbery having been unexpected, and attempted in the night-time; as if it were the established custom of gentlemen in the housebreaking way to transact business at noon, and to make an appointment, by the twopenny post, a day or two previous.”
“...for women bring trouble as surely as night follows day...”
“What hath night to do with sleep?”
“True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.”
“Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night.”
