"Jusqu'au cercuil (mon fils) vueilles apprendre, Et tien perdu le jour qui s'est passe, Si tu n'y as quelque chose ammasse, Pour plus scavant et plus sage te rendre."

"My god, the day shines bright over the Land, but for me the day is black."

"Yet, behind the night, Waits for the great unborn, somewhere afar, Some white tremendous daybreak."

"Each day is a gift and not a given right."

"Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright, The bridal of the earth and sky, The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; For thou must die."

"If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday?"

"All comes out even at the end of the day."

"The long days are no happier than the short ones."

"Virtus sui gloria. Think that day lost whose (low) descending sun Views from thy hand no noble action done."

"An lifted his head in pride and brought forth a good day."

"Hide me from day's garish eye."

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

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

"Creta an carbone notandi?"

"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."

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

"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."

"Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, The very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Varieties And Realities of your Existence; The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And Tomorrow is only a Vision; But Today well lived Makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn."

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

"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?"

"There are two most powerful days in your life: the day you're born, and the day you discover why."

"0 Kalki 28 June 2005 22:57 (UTC) The joke is fine, but I have never been able to establish this as an actual statement of Einstein's and have long been inclined to doubt that it is, despite it often being cited as one. If we are to commemorate the centennial of Einstein's publication, I would much prefer to use a far less dubious quotation of him, or perhaps the famous equation summing up the relations indicated by the theory: E = mc². The joke has been "quoted" by Steve Mirsky in the humorous "antigravity" section of Scientific American (September 2002). Vol. 287, Iss. 3; pg. 102 but this should hardly be taken as an authentication of the statement as actually Einstein's, as Mirsky cites the original source as being a fictional magazine: "Amazingly, the pretty girl/hot stove quote is actually the abstract from a short paper written by Einstein that appeared in the now defunct Journal of Exothermic Science and Technology (JEST, Vol. 1, No. 9; 1938).""

Kalki 23:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC) Unable to rank this as yet; they are good lines, but I am afraid they might be an entire poem, and thus I am reluctant to use them for QOTD. I do not yet have any published volumes to confirm this, but indications on the web are strong that it is. If it were reduced to "Before the five senses were opened..." I would probably give it a 3. but only if reduced to begin with "Before the five senses were opened...""
