Sunsets

Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher standard of living is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.
- Aldo Leopold, 1887 - 1948

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
- Crowfoot, 1821 - 1890

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.
- Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874 - 1936

Man's feelings are always purest and most glowing in the hour of meeting and of farewell; like the glaciers, which are transparent and rosy-hued only at sunrise and sunset, but throughout the day are gray and cold.
- Jean Paul Richter, 1763 - 1825

I don't know what you could say about a day in which you have seen four beautiful sunsets.
- John Glenn

This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere: the dew is never all dried at once: a shower is forever falling, vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
- John Muir, 1838 - 1914
