Christmas Quotes
Most of the quotes on this page are not about Christmas at all. We built it from the pages on family, love and gratitude, which is what people tend to want for a card or a toast.
That makes it a long list, ordered by quality rather than by how seasonal each entry feels. If you want something that sounds like Christmas, search for it. If you want something that would be true at any family table, start here.
Love's mysteries in souls do grow,
But yet the body is his book.
If yet I have not all thy love,
Dear, I shall never have it all.
Now thou hast loved me one whole day,
To-morrow when thou leavest, what wilt thou say?
Refinement is a sign of a deficient vitality, in art, in love, and in everything.
Love, the most generous passion of the mind
The softest refuge innocence can find.
Thrice venomed is the wound when 'tis Love's hand
Inflicts the blow.
