HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

I heard the bells on Christmas Day; their old familiar carols play, 

And wild and sweet the word repeat of peace on earth, good-will to men!

THE NEXT POST HERE WILL BE ON THURSDAY 3RD JANUARY

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER

For somehow, not only at Christmas, but all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Always remember that the future comes one day at a time.

HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

J.K. GALBRAITH

It's a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense, than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Plan for the future, because that is where you are going to spend the rest of your life.

ANON

Excellence can be achieved if you risk more than others think is safe, love more than others think is wise, dream more than others think is practical, and expect more than others think is possible.

LORD BYRON

There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep sea and the music in its roar
I love not man the less, but Nature more.

MADELINE BRIDGES

Give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.

PAUL of TARSUS

Whatever is true, whatever is noble,
Whatever is right, whatever is pure,
Whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable,
Whatever is excellent, what ever is praiseworthy -
Think about those things.

KATHERINE MANSFIELD

I have made it a rule of my life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.

ANON

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

MARK TWAIN

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

HELEN KELLER

The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.

PLATO

 Wise men talk when they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.

KATHERINE GRAHAM

To love what you do and feel that it matters, how could anything more be fun?
