Sun Quotations
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
Buddha

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. Lewis

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa

The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.
Confucius

Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
William Shakespeare

The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
John F. Kennedy

Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
Henry David Thoreau

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C. S. Lewis

Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
