Holidays Quotes

Emily Dickinson:

Before the ice is in the pools,
Before the skaters go,
Or any cheek at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow,
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!


G. K. Chesterton:

The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.


Hamilton Wright Mabie:

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

The holiest of holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart.


John Greenleaf Whittier:

Somehow, not only for Christmas
   But all the long year through,
The 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.


Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon:

Remember this December, that love weighs more than gold!
