Sunrise Quotes
We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness.
With each sunrise, we start anew.
The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
--John Muir
What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?
--E. M. Forster
There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
--Bern Williams
Climb up on some hill at sunrise. Everyone needs perspective once in a while, and you'll find it there.
--Robb Sagendorph
The Lord has turned all our sunsets into sunrise.
--St. Clement of Alexandria
Sunrise is the hope of each new day, no matter what the night has brought. No night can keep the sun from rising. No despair can keep hope from soaring again in the human heart.
I'll tell you how the Sun rose -
A Ribbon at a time . . .
--Emily Dickinson
At sunrise everything is luminous but
not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude
us. You can love completely without complete understanding.
-- Norman Maclean
However long the night, the dawn will break.
-- African Proverb
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of night.
-- Kahlil Gibran
The Sunrise Centre, 164 Broadway, Newport, Rhode Island, USA, welcomes tourists and visitors. Directly across the street from Dunkin Donuts and in the vicinity of several fine restaurants and coffee shops, the Newport Sunrise Centre is a three minute walk from Washington Square in Newport's Historic District and an eight minute drive from the Newport beaches. The Sunrise Centre is located on historic and picturesque island of Aquidneck (means Peaceful in a Native American tongue) off the Rhode Island coast.

Sakonnett Bridge and follow the signs to Route 114. Follow 114 south
into Newport. Route 114 becomes Broadway. Proceed until reaching 164
Broadway.
To reach the Sunrise Centre from the south, take the Newport Bridge into Newport. Get off at the last exit. Turn left at the light, go through one more light until coming to the third light. Take a right onto Broadway, Newport, and continue until reaching 164 Broadway.
From the
appearance of its architectural design, and from a
photograph
showing horses tethered to a hitching post outside the Centre, the
three story building which houses the Sunrise Centre seems to have
been constructed in the mid to late 1880's. When a fire in the year
1900 destroyed all the records in Newport City Hall, the prior
history of the Sunrise Centre, along with the history of many other
buildings in Newport, went up in the blaze. Since 1900, the Sunrise
Centre has been home to many different businesses including a tire
store, grocery, dance studio, and liquor store.
Today the Sunrise Centre is home to the following shops and services:
