Even the latest sleepers among us can agree that—when they happen to get up and catch it, anyway—sunrise is one of the most special times of day. While each and every sunrise literally marks the beginning of a new day, it also reminds us that we, too, can start fresh with a good attitude, positivity, and gratitude. In fact, next time you check out a sunrise, it might be worth it to bring along some good morning quotes, gratitude quotes and new beginnings quotes, just to kick things off right. You can also bring along these carefully curated quotes about the beauty of sunrises that we've put together. And for those of you who refuse to wake up and drink in the sunrise sights, that's okay. You can hang out for the end of the day and enjoy some sunset quotes.
