Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful..
Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving.
Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.
Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.
Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.
When you walk on the road and people scream out your name, the high is unparalleled.
Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.
