"In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes when you awake in the morning." ― Carl Sandburg Topic(s): Morning More From Carl Sandburg "We read Robert Browning’s poetry. Here we needed no guidance from the professor: the poems themselves were enough." "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." "To work hard, to live hard, to die hard, and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard." More In Morning "O sweet, delusive Noon, Which the morning climbs to find, O moment sped too soon, And morning left behind."― Helen Hunt Jackson "The less I behave like Whistler’s mother the night before, the more I look like her the morning after."― Tallulah Bankhead "I know I have to be like people expect, because people love to dream with me, they like to think that I love my boat of 50 metres, that I drink Cristal for breakfast, that I dance until five o’clock in the morning. I am not like that."― Roberto Cavalli
