"He lowered the window, and looked out..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.”

“I found every breath of air, and every scent, and every flower and leaf and blade of grass and every passing cloud, and everything in nature, more beautiful and wonderful to me than I had ever found it yet. This was my first gain from my illness. How little I had lost, when the wide world was so full of delight for me.”

“Rattle me out of bed early, set me going, give me as short a time as you like to bolt my meals in, and keep me at it. Keep me always at it, and I'll keep you always at it, you keep somebody else always at it. There you are with the Whole Duty of Man in a commercial country.”

“Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.”

“Political parties are like poets, born, not made.”

“The echoes of beauty you've seen transpire, Resound through dying coals of a campfire.”

“To him whose elastic and vigorous thought keeps pace with the sun, the day is a perpetual morning. It matters not what the clocks say or the attitudes and labors of men. Morning is when I am awake and there is a dawn in me.”

“In the spring mornings I would work early while my wife still slept. The windows were open wide and the cobbles of the street were drying after the rain.”

“But the impressions which the morning makes vanish with its dews, and not even the most "persevering mortal" can preserve the memory of its freshness to midday.”
