We should every night call ourselves to an account: what infirmity have I mastered to-day? what passions opposed? what temptation resisted? what virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came.
Jefferson Davis

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
Henry Ward Beecher

Fashion offers no greater challenge than finding what works for night without looking like you are wearing a costume.

Al Jazeera aired a new tape of Osama bin Laden. It was the usual stuff, he called Bush evil, the Great Satan, called him a war monger. Basically, the same thing you heard at last night's Democratic debate.
Jay Leno

We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.
Layne Staley

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
e. e. cummings

The problem with the designated driver program, it's not a desirable job, but if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.
Jeff Foxworthy

But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.
William Wordsworth

We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.

It is natural not to care about a sister certainly not when she is four years older and grinds her teeth at night.
Gertrude Stein

I'm for whatever gets you through the night.
Frank Sinatra

Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Frank Sinatra

Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?
Jack Kerouac

I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.
Tennessee Williams

Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family, because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show.
Adam Sandler

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!
Alexander Pope
