Famous quotes containing the words sunrise, waking and/or prayer:
“... possibly there is no needful occupation which is wholly unbeautiful. The beauty of work depends upon the way we meet it—whether we arm ourselves each morning to attack it as an enemy that must be vanquished before night comes, or whether we open our eyes with the sunrise to welcome it as an approaching friend who will keep us delightful company all day, and who will make us feel, at evening, that the day was well worth its fatigues.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
“By this he knew she wept with waking eyes:”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
“Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 21:22.
