Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself.
Norman W. Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas"

I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible,
to be honorable, to be compassionate.
It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something,
to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Leo C. Rosten (1908-1977) American Writer

| "It is not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong;
not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich;
not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned;
and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity."
-Francis Bacon

reduces the Creator to a cosmic bellhop
of a not very bright or reliable kind.

Of all plagues with which mankind is cursed,
ecclesiastic tyranny's the worst.
