For the most part, I think this saying is true. But I've seen some awesome sunrise's in startling shades of pinks or reds, yet the day remains exceptionally beautiful. I think what the saying infers is that we remain aware of our surroundings. I think an added caveat would be that anything is possible, so enjoy life, be cognizant of our present state of mind, and cherish our delights.

Hi Katzchen! It's actually a piece of weather knowledge that,appears in the Bible, and has some validity anywhere where the weather in the main comes in from the west. See https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/learnin...d-sky-at-night for a proper explanation.
