The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes which slumbers all the rest of the day and night. . . . . That man who does not believe that each day contains an earlier, more sacred, and auroral hour than he has yet profaned, has despaired of life, and is pursuing a descending and darkening way. . . . . All memorable events, I should say, transpire in morning time and in a morning atmosphere. The Vedas say, “All intelligences awaken with the morning.” Poetry and art, and the fairest and most memorable of the actions of men, date from such an hour. All poets and heroes, like Memnon, are the children of Aurora, and emit their music at sunshine. . . . . Morning is when I am awake and there is a dawn in me. Moral reform is the effort to throw off sleep. . . . To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. . . . .

We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, of to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to cre and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour. . . . .
