“Acknowledging what you don’t know is the dawning of wisdom.”
Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
—Oscar Wilde
There is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.
—Jean-Paul Sartre
Do you think that I count the days? There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.
—Jean-Paul Sartre
They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.
—Seneca
Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
—Henry David Thoreau
Our hands be steady, then, until
The setting of the sun;
Then sudden, through the cloudy skies
The dawn shall break, the song shall rise,
The song of warfare won.
—Amy Carmichael
What is their power, my Lord, to Thee?
Shadows of fear, oh, flee away;
I hear my Captain calling me—
Where is the night? ’Tis dawn, ’tis day.
—Amy Carmichael
Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation. I keep the subject constantly before me and wait ’til the first dawning opens slowly, by little and little, into a full and clear light.
—Isaac Newton
