The earth has grown old with its burden of care,
But at Christmas it always is young.
- Phillips Brooks
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!
- Charles Dickens
For the spirit of Christmas fulfills the greatest hunger of mankind.
- Loring A. Schuler
My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?
- Bob Hope
