Quotations for rising

Labor with what zeal we will.
Something still remains undone,
Something uncompleted still
Waits the rising of the sun. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

Most men worship the rising sun. [ Proverb ]

The rising moon has hid the stars;
Her level rays, like golden bars,
Lie on the landscape green,
With shadows brown between. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Endymion ]

In rising sighs and falling tears. [ Addison ]

God's help is better than early rising. [ Proverb ]

Then, rising with Aurora's light,
The muse invoked, sit down to write;
Blot out, correct, insert, refine.
Enlarge, diminish, interline;
Be mindful, when invention fails.
To scratch your head and bite your nails. [ Swift ]

The rising world of waters dark and deep. [ Milton ]

Heaven's help is better than early rising. [ Cervantes ]

The rising winds
And falling springs,
Birds, beasts, all things
Adore him in their kinds.
Thus all is hurled
In sacred hymns and order, the great chime
And symphony of nature. [ Henry Vaughan ]

Rising to great place is by a winding stair. [ Bacon ]

Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,
With charm of earliest birds. [ Milton ]

The monarch oak, the patriarch of the trees.
Shoots rising up, and spreads by slow degrees.
Three centuries he grows, and three he stays
Supreme in state; and in three more decays. [ Dryden ]

The rising blushes, which her cheek over spread,
Are opening roses in the lily's bed. [ Gay ]

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows,
While proudly rising over the azure realm,
In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes,
Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm. [ Gray ]

No radiant pearl which crested fortune wears,
No gem that, twinkling, hangs from beauty's ears,
Not the bright stars which night's blue arch adorn,
Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn.
Shine with such lustre as the tear that breaks
For other's woe, down virtue's manly cheeks. [ Darwin ]

What the better is the house for a sluggard's rising early? [ Proverb ]

America is rising with a giant's strength. Its bones are yet but cartilages. [ Fisher Ames ]

Rising glory occasions the greatest envy, as kindling fire the greatest smoke. [ Spenser ]

The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising. [ Beecher ]

Our greatest glory consists, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. [ Oliver Goldsmith ]

Rising genius always shoots forth its rays from among clouds and vapors, but these will gradually roll away and disappear as it ascends to its steady and meridian lustre. [ Washington Irving ]

It is the penalty of fame that a man must ever keep rising. Get a reputation and then go to bed, is the absurdest of all maxims. Keep up a reputation or go to bed, would be nearer the truth. [ Chapin ]

It is only an error of judgment to make a mistake, but it argues an infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered. Or, as the Chinese better say, The glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall. [ Bovee ]

Pale, Pallid, or Wan? All these terms denote an absence of color, but vary in degree, pallid rising upon pale, and wan upon pallid. Paleness in the countenance may be temporary, but pallidness and wanness are caused by sickness, hunger, or fatigue, and are of longer duration. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]

Beauty is an all-pervading presence. It unfolds to the numberless flowers of the spring; it waves in the branches of the trees and the green blades of grass; it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects, but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and setting sun, all overflow with beauty. [ Channing ]
