Away, the partial love
That ‘boldens Nature to sit above
Her Maker!
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.
Then Love, I beg, when next thou takest thy bow, . . .
Pass rascal deer, strike me the largest doe.
In the fire of love we live, or pass by many ways,
By unnumbered ways of dream to death.
The Hermit
I made Man with too many faults. Yet I love him.
And if he wishes, I have a home above for him.
Love is not a symptom of time.
Time is just a symptom of love
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?
'T is loving and serving
The Highest and Best!
'T is onwards! unswerving,
And that is true rest.
