May we feel after Thee; still calling out in the darkness, as children waking in the night call "Father," so may we call out for God; and, at times, even if we do not hear Thy voice, may there be the form of a hand resting upon us, and that shall be enough; for we shall take hold of it, though it be in the dark, and it shall guide us to the growing light; for the day shall come, and the release and triumph.
Henry Ward Beecher
Last night, there came a frost, which has done great damage to my garden.... It is sad that Nature will play such tricks on us poor mortals, inviting us with sunny smiles to confide in her, and then, when we are entirely within her power, striking us to the heart.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral; returning violence with violence only multiplies voilence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Martin Luther King Jr
No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film
Robert Adams
I've loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Galileo Galilei
The sleep of a wise man is far better than the worship of an ignorant one during the night.
Musa al-Kadhim
The beauteous eyes of the spring's fair night With comfort are downward gazing.
Heinrich Heine
May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.
Irish Toast
Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night; For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night Whiter than new snow upon a raven's back.
William Shakespeare
Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime, and too sleepy to worry at night
Leo Aikman
Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime, and too sleepy to worry at night.

Our Founding Fathers would shudder to see how easily forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push some Senate leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: Abusing power. Inserting the government into our private lives. Injecting religion into debates about public policy. Jumping through hoops to ingratiate themselves to their partys base, while step by step, day by day, real problems that keep American families up at night fall by the wayside here in Washington.
John Kerry
I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her
Victor Hugo, Saint Denis
Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father's curse, mother's moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks
Goldman, Emma
