Sleep Quotes
He sleeps well who knows not that he sleeps ill.
Publilius Syrus, Maxim 77Circa 42 BC
Golden Care!
That keep'st the ports of slumber open wide
To many a watchful night!
William Shakespeare, King Henry IV
Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep!" the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.
William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act II
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy
death.
Leonardo Da Vinci
To all, to each, a fair good-night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
Sir Walter Scott, Marion
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to
sleep.
Proverbs 24:33
More Sleep quotes
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not
slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber not sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time
forth, and even for evermore.
Psalms 121
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids.
Proverbs 132: 4
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep,
And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto XIII
Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou ow'dst yesterday.
William Shakespeare, Orthello, Act III
Give me to drink mandragora…
That I might sleep out this great gap of time
My Anthony is away.
William Shakespeare, Anthony and Cleopatra, Act I
How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge! What is a man,
If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more.
Sure, he that made us with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not
That capability and godlike reason
To fust in us unused.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III

Rest
Rest is not quitting
Thy busy career;
Rest is the fitting
Of self to its sphere.
'Tis loving and serving
The highest and best!
'Tis onwards, unswerving,
And that is true rest.
JS Dwight
Make a rule, and pray God to help you to keep it, never, if possible, to
lie down at night without being able to say, "I have made one human
being, at least, a little wiser, a little happier, or a little better this
day."
Charles Kingsley
Thank God for sleep!
And, when you cannot sleep,
Still thank Him that you live
To lie awake.
John Oxenham, The Sacrament of Sleep
He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
Benjamin Franklin
I have sought repose everywhere, and I have found it only in a little corner
with a little book.
St. Francois de Sales
For Sleep is good, But Death is better still –
The best is never to be born at all.
Heinrich Heine
Sleep not, dream not; this bright day
Will not, cannot last for aye;
Bliss like thine is bought by years
Dark with torment and with tears.
Emily Bronte, Sleep Not, Stanza I

Let's to Bed
Come, let's to bed,
Says Sleep-head;
Tarry awhile says Slow;
Put on the pot,
Says Greedy-gut,
We'll sup before we go.
