It’s not enough to be busy; so are the ants.

–  Henry David Thoreau

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

~ John Milton

“I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day,
a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic
waiting somewhere behind the morning.”

~ J. B. Priestley
