Sun Quotes
Perhaps you say, Why are the wicked joyous? Why do they live in luxury? Why do they not toil with me? It is because they who have not put down their names to strive for the crown are not bound to undergo the labors of the contest. They who have not gone down into the race-course do not annoint themselves with oil nor get covered with dust. For those whom glory awaits trouble is at hand. The perfumed spectators are wont to look on, not to join in the struggle, nor to endure the sun, the heat, the dust, and the showers.
Bill Vaughan
It is generally supposed that complete pleasure of this kind, permeating one's very flesh and bones, unfits the student for scientific pursuits in which cool judgment and observation are required. But the effect is just the opposite. Instead of producing a dissipated condition, the mind is fertilized and stimulated and developed like sun-fed plants.
John Muir
The wisdom of the Lord is infinite as are also His glory and His power. Ye heavens, sing His praises., sun, moon, and planets, glorify Him in your ineffable language! Praise Him, celestial harmonies, and all ye who can comprehend them! And thou, my soul, praise thy Creator! It is by Him and in Him that all exist.
Johannes Kepler

Francis of Assisi
And so we remained till the red of the dawn began to fall through the snow gloom. I was desolate and afraid, and full of woe and terror. But when that beautiful sun began to climb the horizon life was to me again.
Bram Stoker

Livy
Night comes down and finds you aloneIn a space and time of your own,Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.Down the street the neon light shines,Offering refuge and hope to the blind,Who stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low,And I end up looking for some winner goal.Yes I should know better but I can't say no.
Gerry Rafferty
When I was a kid a long time ago, when the sun rose, I was outside on my bike. If my parents were lucky - poor parents! - I would be home before it got dark.
Larry Ellison
I felt obligated to change music to art, the same way that Galileo proved the Earth was round to the world and that the Sun did not stand still.

We have conquered for ourselves a place in the sun. It will now be my task to see to it that this place in the sun remains our undisputed possession, for our future lies upon the water.
Wilhelm II
Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It's growing out of sour earth. And it's strong because its hard struggle to live is making it strong. My children will be strong that way.
Betty Smith
I'm like a plant, I reach for the sun.
Carole King
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants the friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high, he plants a home to heaven anigh.
For song and mother-croon of bird, in hushed and happy twilight heard -
The treble of heaven's harmony.
These things he plants who plants a tree.

Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes. Watchin' the ships roll in; And I watch 'em roll away again. Sittin' on the dock of the bay, Watchin' the tide roll away. Sittin' on the dock of the bay, Wastin' time.
Otis Redding
