Jeder Morgen war eine frohe Aufforderung, mein Leben so einfach, und ich darf sagen, so unschuldig zu gestalten wie die Natur selbst.

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

The sun is new each day.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

What good is all sunrise, if we do not stand up?

I am rising to the work of a human being.
