“True friendship multiplies the good in life
and divides its evils.
Strive to have friends,
for life without friends
is like life on a desert island…
to find one real friend in a lifetime
is good fortune;
to keep him is a blessing.”
~ Baltasar Gracian
“Time is the coin of your life.
It is the only coin you have,
and only you can determine
how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let
other people spend it for you.”
~ Carl Sandburg
“Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o’ lang syne!”
~ Robert Burns

don’t really involve Santa.”

everything is softer

the Grinch thought,
doesn’t come from the store.”

steal your present.
This is the message of Christmas:
We are never alone.”

“The earth has grown old
with its burden of care,
but at Christmas it always is young,
the heart of the jewel
burns lustrous and fair,
and its soul full of music
breaks the air,
when the song of angels is sung.”
~ Phillips Brooks
