• The reason we have the stars twinkle at night is because the light is being kind of blurred by the atmosphere around the Earth. That is why the Hubble Space Telescope is so good, because it is above the atmosphere. So it is kind of like looking at the sun from the bottom of a swimming pool, versus looking at the sun above the swimming pool.

• All man has to do is cooperate with the big forces, the sun, the rain, the growing urge. Seeds sprout, stems grow, leaves spread in the sunlight. Man plants, weeds, cultivates and harvests. It sounds simple, and it is simple, with the simplicity of great truths.

  Hal Borland

• Like the rainbow, peace rests upon the earth, but its arch is lost in heaven. Heaven bathes it in hues of light--it springs up amid tears and clouds--it is a reflection of the eternal sun--it is an assurance of calm--it is the sign of a great covenant between God and man--it is an emanation from the distant orb of immortal light.

  Charles Caleb Colton

  Peace, Spring, Reflection

• Love is the weapon which Omnipotence reserved to conquer rebel man when all the rest had failed. Reason he parries; fear he answers blow for blow; future interest he meets with present pleasure; but love, that sun against whose melting beams the winter cannot stand--that soft subliming slumber which wrestles down the giant, there is not one human being in a million, nor a thousand men in all earth's huge quintillion, whose clay heart is hardened against love.

  Martin Farquhar Tupper

  Love, Heart, Winter

• Genius scorns the power of gold: it is wrong. Gold is the war-scythe on its chariot, which mows down the millions of its foes, and gives free passage to the sun-coursers with which it leaves those heavenly fields of light for the gross battlefields of earth.

• Ah, passing few are they who speak,
  Wild, stormy month! in praise of thee;
  Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak,
  Thou art a welcome month to me.
  For thou, to northern lands, again
  The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
  And thou hast joined the gentle train
  And wear'st the gentle name of Spring.

  William C. Bryant

• A blossom full of promise is life's joy,
  That never comes to fruit. Hope, for a time,
  Suns the young floweret in its gladsome light,
  And it looks flourishing--a little while--
  'T is pass'd, we know not whither, but 't is gone.

  Letitia Elizabeth Landon

  Light, Joy, Promise

• The realm of death seems an enemy's country to most men, on whose shores they are loathly driven by stress of weather; to the wise man it is the desired port where he moors his bark gladly, as in some quiet haven of the Fortunate Isles; it is the golden west into which his sun sinks, and, sinking, casts back a glory upon the leaden cloud-tack which had darkly besieged his day.

  James Russell Lowell
