“Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.”
“The morning comes, the night decays, the watchmen leave their stations.”
“Every Night and every MornSome to Misery are born.Every Morn and every NightSome are born to Sweet Delight,Some are born to Endless Night.”
“And I watered it in fears,Night and morning with my tears;And I sunned it with smiles,And with soft deceitful wiles.”
“I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe; I told it not, my wrath did grow.And I water'd it in fears, Night & morning with my tears; And I sunnéd it with smiles And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright; And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine, And into my garden stole, When the night had veil'd the pole: In the morning glad I see My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.”
“He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.”
“May God us keepFrom Single vision and Newton's sleep.”
