Night
(page 2)
Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.
Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars, millions of them, twinkling in the night sky, all with a message of unity, part of the very nature of God.
Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard on a cold night, she can still survive.
Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
My smile has been my ticket to the world. Smiling releases the same feel-good hormones you get jogging. Caring for your lips and gums is important. I brush my teeth morning and night, alternating toothpaste brands. In addition to flossing, I use a Water Pik to massage my gums and remove food particles.
Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night.
Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.
We turn off the TV, video games and computer — except for homework — during the week. The TV's reserved for Friday night, Saturday and Sunday just because that's the time to do homework, and it makes it that much less chaotic in our house.
I go on walks during lunch breaks and travel with a fold-up yoga mat. I also love reading by candlelight at night.
I wanted to be a soccer player, and I became the best of the best, the number one, better than Maradona, better than Pele, and even better than Messi — but only at night, nighttime, during my dreams. When I wake up, I realized that I have wooden legs and that I'm doomed to be a writer.
Leisure time is that five or six hours when you sleep at night.
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.
Upon awakening in the morning, I wondered if the proceedings of the night before had been a dream. It was hard to believe that I was the world's heavyweight champion.
What a nice night for an evening.
