"I never knew a man come to greatness or eminence who lay abed late in the morning." ― Jonathan Swift Topic(s): Morning More From Jonathan Swift "Interest is the spur of the people, but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth, and judgment of age." "Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others." "Where there are large powers with little ambition… nature may be said to have fallen short of her purposes." More In Morning "The present moment is nice but it does not last. Living in it is like waiting in a junction town for the morning limited; the junction may be interesting but some day you will have to leave it and you do not know where the limited will take you."― Bruce Catton "A real New Yorker likes the sound of a garbage truck in the morning."― R. L. Stine "Four hours of makeup, and then an hour to take it off. It’s tiring. I go in, I get picked up at two-thirty in the morning, I get there at three. I wait four hours, go through it, ready to work at seven, work all day long for twelve hours, and get it taken off for an hours, go home and go to sleep, and do the same thing again."― Peter Sarsgaard
