days

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

"Moses, before he left Egypt, succeeded in securing for the Israelites the observance of rest on the Sabbath, by pointing out to Pharaoh the necessity--in his own interest--of granting his slaves one day every week freedom from labour, and thereby invigorating them for the renewal of labour after their rest."

"The observance of the Sabbath proclaimed on Sinai by an Israelite outweighs all other commandments. And from the point of view that the Sabbath was established as a token between God and his people (Exod. 31. 13) one is justified in saying that it is not right and proper for a non-Jew to observe that Sabbath; it is the expression of a relation so intimate that the intrusion of a stranger would be resented."

"Days should speak and multitude of years should teach wisdom."

"Car il n'est si beau jour qui n'amène sa nuit."

"Out of the shadows of night, The world rolls into light; It is daybreak everywhere."

"We met, hand to hand, We clasped hands close and fast, As close as oak and ivy stand; But it is past: Come day, come night, day comes at last."

"Cressa ne careat pulchra dies nota."

"The days are ever divine as to the first Aryans. They are of the least pretension, and of the greatest capacity of anything that exists. They come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away."

"Inter spem curamque, timores inter et iras, Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum: Grata superveniet, quæ non sperabitur, hora."

"What hath this day deserv'd? what hath it done, That it in golden letters should be set Among the high tides in the calendar?"

"O, such a day, So fought, so follow'd and so fairly won."

"Day is a snow-white Dove of heaven That from the East glad message brings. Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapped to the eyes in his black wings."

"From fibers of pain and hope and trouble And toil and happiness,—one by one,— Twisted together, or single or double, The varying thread of our life is spun. Hope shall cheer though the chain be galling; Light shall come though the gloom be falling; Faith will list for the Master calling Our hearts to his rest,—when the day is done."

"Day! Faster and more fast, O'er night's brim, day boils at last; Boils, pure gold, o'er the cloud-cup's brim."

"So here hath been dawning Another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it Slip useless away? Out of eternity This new day is born, Into eternity At night will return."

"Days, that need borrow No part of their good morrow From a fore-spent night of sorrow."

"Daughters of Time, the hypocrite Days, Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes, And marching single in an endless file, Bring diadems and fagots in their hands; To each they offer gifts after his will, Bread, kingdom, stars, and sky that holds them all; I, in my pleachéd garden watched the pomp Forgot my morning wishes, hastily Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day Turned and departed silent. I too late Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn."

"The better day, the worse deed."

"Truditur dies die, Novæque pergunt interire lunæ."

"O sweet, delusive Noon, Which the morning climbs to find, O moment sped too soon, And morning left behind."

"Well, this is the end of a perfect day, Near the end of a journey, too; But it leaves a thought that is big and strong, With a wish that is kind and true. For mem'ry has painted this perfect day With colors that never fade, And we find at the end of a perfect day, The soul of a friend we've made."

"Longissimus dies cito conditur."

"Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."

"The sun is in the heaven, and the proud day, Attended with the pleasures of the world, Is all too wanton."

"On all important time, thro' ev'ry age, Tho' much, and warm, the wise have urged; the man Is yet unborn, who duly weighs an hour, "I've lost a day"—the prince who nobly cried Had been an emperor without his crown; Of Rome? say rather, lord of human race."

""A day for Gods to stoop," * * * ay, And men to soar."

"Diem perdidi."

"I've demonstrated there's no difference between me and everyone else! All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day."

"Hide me from day's garish eye."
