"The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred million to a poetic or divine life."
-I think this quote mean that although every morning millions of people are awake physically they are not awake mentally, meaning that when people get up in the morning it seems easier for them to go run a mile then to be able to think about something throughly and be able to find a solution to a problem. Only one out of a hundred million people are able to wake up and have the same mind set as poet, because not many people are able to have enough energy to think about a solution to a problem, let alone go to the extream of being able to think like a poet.
"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expection of the dawn, which does not for sake us in our soundest sleep."
-This quote means, when the sun rises so should the man, for the day has just begun. The man however should not use medications to wake himself such as an alarm, or to keep him awake, but only by the nature. He should be well rested and wake up with the sun. It is hard for the man to wake himself so early, if he has no purpose to get him up.
