Therefore, since the world has still Much good, but much less good than ill, And while the sun and moon endure Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good. (A. E. Housman)
According to our belief, Japan was founded by the Sun Goddess Amaterasu Omikami, who is revered by the entire nation for her all-pervading virtue, and from whom our Imperial House is descended. View quote
Sadao Araki
Wake! For the Sun, who scatter'd into flight The Stars before him from the Field of Night, Drives Night along with them from Heav'n, and strikes The Sultan's Turret with a Shaft of Light. View quote
Omar Khayyám

Calvin Coolidge
On 24 October 1944 Planet Earth was following its orbit about the sun as it has obediently done for nearly five billion years. View quote
James A. Michener
You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt. View quote
Robert M. Pirsig
In Phebus realm, in knowledge as in verse, All things are clear, the sun of Phoebus clear, Clear was his crystal, the Kastalian. What you cannot clearly say, you don't know: To tongue of man his thought brings word: What's said obscurely is what's thought obscurely. View quote
Esaias Tegnér
The result of [the] cumulative efforts to investigate the cell-to investigate life at the molecular level-is a loud, clear, piercing cry of ‘design!' The result is so unambiguous and so significant that it must be ranked as one of the greatest achievements in the history of science. The discovery rivals those of Newton and Einstein, Lavoisier and Schrödinger, Pasteur, and Darwin. The observation of the intelligent design of life is as momentous as the observation that the earth goes around the sun. View quote
Michael Behe
Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I'm very medical. I come from a medical family. View quote
Nicole Kidman
As in the presence of the Master, the Servants are equall, and without any honour at all; So are the Subjects, in the presence of the Soveraign. And though they shine some more, some lesse, when they are out of his sight; yet in his presence, they shine no more than the Starres in presence of the Sun. View quote
Thomas Hobbes
Rumors that the sun is out at Santa Ynez are without foundation," the radio said. (John Brunner)
The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us. Thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love. View quote
John Muir
God never made an ugly landscape. All that the sun shines on is beautiful, so long as it is wild. View quote
John Muir
The days, the nights, flow one by one above us. The hours go silently over our lifted faces. We are like dreamers who walk beneath a sea. Beneath high walls we flow in the sun together. We sleep, we wake, we laugh, we pursue, we flee. View quote
Conrad Aiken
The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright - And this was very odd, because it was The middle of the night. View quote
Lewis Carroll
Monotheistic religions alone furnish the spectacle of religious wars, religious persecutions, heretical tribunals, that breaking of idols and destruction of images of the gods, that razing of Indian temples and Egyptian colossi, which had looked on the sun 3,000 years: just because a jealous god had said, Thou shalt make no graven image. View quote
Arthur Schopenhauer
At about 10 o'clock in the morning the sun threw a bright dust-laden bar through one of the side windows and in and out of the beam flies shot like rushing stars. View quote
John Steinbeck
You're buying years of work, toil in the sun; you're buying a sorrow that can't talk. View quote
John Steinbeck
Life could not change the sun or water the desert, so it changed itself. View quote
John Steinbeck
The sun was a molten coin burning a circle in the low-hanging overcast, surrounded by a fairy-ring of moisture. View quote
Stephen King
THE OCTOBER COUNTRY ...that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain... (Ray Bradbury)
The sun burnt every day. It burnt time. View quote
Ray Bradbury
I've alway known that the quality of love was the mind, even though the body sometimes refuses this knowledge. The body lives for itself. It lives only to feed and wait for the night. It's essentially nocturnal. But what of the mind which is born of the sun, William, and must spend thousands of hours of a lifetime awake and aware? Can you balance off the body, that pitiful, selfish thing of night against a whole lifetime of sun and intellect? I don't know. View quote
Ray Bradbury
Shadows cannot see themselves in the mirror of the sun. View quote
Evita Peron
The lifetime of a human being is measured by decades, the lifetime of the Sun is a hundred million times longer. Compared to a star, we are like mayflies, fleeting ephemeral creatures who live out their lives in the course of a single day. View quote
Carl Sagan
