Brighter Day

Famous quotes containing the words brighter and/or day:

    Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang
    and stood
    In brighter light and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhood?
    Alas! they all are in their graves;
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
