Fic help, please!

You know how there are things you suspect  Jeeves would use a quotation to say? Things like: 'cheer up, bad things happen to everyone' are usually said with a quote from Marcus Aurelius, for e.g.
There are a few quotations in my fic. But not being very well-read or particularly good at Googling, I haven't managed to find the quotes to meet the words I need Jeeves to say.

There are three quotes I'm missing:

1. What quote would Jeeves use to get Bertie out of bed? I was hoping for a quote about the day getting on, sun rising in the sky, etc. I thought I'd find a good quote from Shakespeare, but all I found was some gaff about oily lids.

2. I need an equivalent for "the grass is always greener on the other side." Something about men never being happy with their lot.

3. ...Well, I promised no spoilers. But I have already spoiled for this bit. I need a quotation that would be Jeeves way of saying "hot damn, this feels good!" The word ecstasy would probably figure into it somewhere...

Thanks in advance for your help!

I confess myself guilty, I love it too! It's just random love for the juicy "steampunk + tentacles" combo XD

Oh noes! I feel the pitter patter of teeny plot bunny feet!
RUN!!!

NOOO! Don't run! *tackles* It's for your own good. One day you'll thank me.

Not the 'it's for your own good' ploy!!!
Curses!

EDIT: @ Juliacarmen - I'm actually working on a steampunkish J&W crossover, but it's really giving me trouble. But, y'know, so you know the intentions are there. ;)
