Motivational Christmas Quotations!
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the
house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
-Clement C. Moore
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as
certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist.
-Francis P. Church
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall
be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly
there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying,Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:9-14
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold,
everything is softer and more beautiful.
-Norman Vincent Peale
Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the
eyes of
children, they
are all thirty feel tall.
-Larry Wilde
Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat.
Please put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you.
-English traditional Rhyme
'Twas Christmas broach'd the mightiest ale; 'twas Christmas told the merriest
tale; a Christmas gambol oft could cheer the poor man's heart through half the
year.
-Sir Walter Scott
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
-Christina Rossetti
Christmas happens everywhere every time someone reaches out to touch another
life with love.
- Carol Duerksen
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it
under a tree.
-Roy L. Smith
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
-Christina Rossetti
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to
keep it all the year.
-Charles Dickens.
Blessed is the season which engages the
whole world in a conspiracy of love."
~Hamilton Wright Mabie
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish
peace and
goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real
spirit of
Christmas.
- Calvin Coolidge
What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the
past,
courage for the present, hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow
with blessings rich and eternal, and that every
path may lead to peace.
-Agnes M. Pharo
Whatever else be lost among the years, Let us
keep
Christmas still a shining thing: Whatever doubts
assail us, or what fears, Let us hold close one
day, remembering Its poignant meaning for the hearts
of men. Let us get back our childlike faith again.
-Grace Noll Crowell
Were I a philosopher, I should write a philosophy of toys, showing that
nothing else in life need to be taken seriously, and that Christmas Day in the
company of children is one of the few occasions on which men become entirely
alive.
-Robert Lynd
Somehow, not only for Christmas,
But all the long year through,
he joy that you give to others,
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing,
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing,
Returns to you glad.
-John Greenleaf Whittier
Christmas--that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so
intangible it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas
may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of
remembrance--a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
