Two Quotes on The Sun

 

                Two  Quotes on The Sun

The first beautiful quote is by  Sir David Brewster Scottish Physicist (1781-1868).

“The glorious sun, the centre and soul of our system, --the lamp that lights it, --the fire that heats it,--the magnet that guides and controls it; --the fountain of colour, which gives its azure to the sky, its verdure to the fields, its rainbow-hues to the gay world of flowers, and the purple light of love to the cheek of youth and beauty.”      

             The second quote which is a little more beautiful is by the  American clergy  Henry Ward Beecher (1818-1887). It reads as follows:

            “The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world’s joy.—So God sits, effulgent, in heaven, not for a favoured fiew, but for the universe of life, and there is no creature so poor or low that he may not look up with childlike confidence, and say, “My father ! thou art mine.”
