What will you and I give for Christmas this year? Let us in our lives give to our Lord and Savior the gift of gratitude by living His teachings and following in His footsteps.

Science makes no pretension to eternal truth or absolute truth.

E. T. Bell

There are only two creatures of value on the face of the earth: those with the commitment, and those who require the commitment of others.

John Adams

We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it.

James Barrie

Most people enjoy the inferiority of their best friends.

Lord Chesterfield

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.

George Orwell

A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Bible

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.

Voltaire

A great wind swept over the ghetto, carrying away shame, invisibility and four centuries of humiliation. But when the wind dropped people saw it had been only a little breeze, friendly, almost gentle.

Jean Genet

There are two ways to go when you hit that crossroads in your life: There is the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay. Now, I'm sitting here and doing great.

Matthew Perry

I think if I weren't so beautiful, maybe, I'd have more character.

Jerry Hall

I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.

Joyce Meyer
