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.
And I, what is my crime I cannot tell,
Vnless it be a crime to haue lou'd too well.
And once again we plighted our troth,
And titter'd, caress'd, kiss'd so dearly.
Love, free as air, at sight of human ties,
Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.
As I sat on a sunny bank
On Christmas day in the morning
I spied three ships come sailing in.
At Christmas I no more desire a rose,
Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled mirth.
Better to have the poet's heart than brain,
Feeling than song.
How could I think the brief years were enough
To prove the reality of endless love?
