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!

So, I went looking for my favorite Hafiz ghazal and couldn't find the same translation (it's too verbose for number three, anyway) but I found too many lovely things not to vomit them up here in a massive quotedump. Hopefully someone can use them. The awkward linebreaks are preserved from where I found them. I can't shake the feeling that Jeeves would read and enjoy Hafiz, but I have no idea when his stuff was first translated.

But here's an entire poem I find ludicrously touching:
How/ Did the rose/ Ever open its heart/ And give to this world/ All its/ Beauty?/ It felt the encouragement of light/ Against its/ Being,/ Otherwise,/ We all remain/ Too/ Frightened.

And a few good lines:

"Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly."

“Remember for just one minute of the day, it would be best to try looking upon yourself more as God does, for She knows your true royal nature.”

Also, there's any number of variations on the 'sweet uncleanness' line from 'Measure for Measure'.

And there's always the Bible. Samuel is really gay, the Song of Songs is really porny, and Ruth has some really romantic bits.

Wow! The Song of Songs is hawt! If I knew the Bible had such high points I would have read it :-}
It didn't have any bits I could use, though, except maybe "O love, for delights!"
It's that kind of ejaculation I'm looking for...

Also, I like to go ahead and reduce Jeeves to incoherence. I mean, if Jeeves can't find his words, you *know* he's distracted. XD
