Sun Quotes
-
Why would anyone walk through life satisfied with the light from the candle of their own understanding when, by reaching out to our Heavenly Father, they could experience the bright sun of spiritual knowledge that would expand their minds with wisdom and fill their souls with joy?
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
-
People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
-
The sun, too, shines into cesspools and is not polluted.
Diogenes
-
The sun was slowly setting in the west, casting golden beams of light into the somber old room.
Eleanor Porter
-
I know not whether, in the eyes of the world, a brilliant death is not preferred to an obscure life of rectitude. Most men are remembered as they died, and not as they lived. We gaze with admiration upon the glories of the setting sun, yet scarcely bestow a passing glance upon its noonday splendor.
Davy Crockett
-
Oh! To be a flower Nodding in the sun, Bending, then upspringing As the breezes run.
Amy Lowell

To me, atonality is against nature. There is a center to everything that exists. The planets have the sun, the earth, the moon.
Alan Hovhaness
-
Omission to do what is necessary Seals a commission to a blank of danger; And danger, like an ague, subtly taints Even then when we sit idly in the sun.
William Shakespeare
-
Cleveland's a great place when you're a kid. You hardly ever get sunburned, without the sun shining.
Darrell Issa

I was lying in a burned out basementWith the full moon in my eyes.I was hoping for replacementWhen the sun burst through the sky.There was a band playing in my headAnd I felt like getting high.I was thinking about what aFriend had saidI was hoping it was a lie.
Neil Young
Buffalo Springfield
-
So breaks the sun earth's rugged chains, Wherein rude winter bound her veins; So grows both stream and source of price, That lately fettered were with ice. So naked trees get crispèd heads, And coloured coats the roughest meads, And all get vigour, youth and spright, That are but looked on by his light.
Ben Jonson
-
Where, oh, where's the chain to fling,One that will chain Cupid's wing-One that will have longer powerThan the April sun or shower?
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
-
I think a fictional invention grows according to its own development, not the author's. Characters in fiction are not simply as alive as you and me, they are more alive. Becky Sharp, Elizabeth Bennett, and Don Quixote may not outlive the burning out of the sun, but they will certainly outlive the brief candle of our lives.
Cynthia Ozick
-
For about 150 days a year in Venice, the sun doesn't show through the mist until noon.
Ray Bradbury

I scarcely remember counting upon happiness - I look not for it if it be not in the present hour - nothing startles me beyond the moment. The setting sun will always set me to rights, or if a sparrow come before my Window I take part in its existence and pick about the gravel.
John Keats
-
During my teenage years, I rebelled and ate everything under the sun, but when I was 18 or 19, I became vegetarian-focused and got disgusted by meat.
Anna Getty
-
Even in the obscure vast history of a planet the time it takes to make a forest counts. It takes a while. And not every planet can do it; it is no common effect, that tangling of the sun's first cool light in the shadow and complexity of innumberable wind-stirred branches.
Ursula K. Le Guin
-
The joy I feel is immense; it burns inside me as though I have swallowed a piece of the sun.
Edith Pattou
-
Liberty is of small value to the lower third of humanity. They greatly prefer security, which means protection by some class above them. They are always in favor of despots who promise to feed them. The only liberty an inferior man really cherishes is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.
H. L. Mencken
-
The sun shone on: the shade of the awning vanished in the hot, white, shadowless midday. In that blaze of heat I was loving Paris as never before. And there sitting opposite me, stretching himself luxuriously in the sun, his eyes lazily examining his half-empty drink, was Larry, the one I loved the best … sensationally uninterested.
Elaine Dundy
-
When the sun appears which dispels darkness in general, you put out the light which dispelled it for you in particular for your need and convenience.
Leonardo da Vinci
