This week’s quotes are about Christmas (Bah! Humbug?). Can you guess the authors of these quotes?
- Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions, a special day spent in the warm circle of family and friends. Margaret Thatcher
- I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. Charles Dickens
- When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things—not the great occasions—give off the greatest glow of happiness. Bob Hope
- Love the giver more than the gift. Brigham Young
- Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won’t make it white. Bing Crosby
- Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection. Winston Churchill
- Christmas gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us. David Cameron
- It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving. Mother Theresa
- God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If He gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it. Pope Francis
- A good conscience is a continual Christmas. Benjamin Franklin
Is that Brigham Young the polygamist with 55 “wives”? He who said “Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.”
Not sure I’d take his word for anything.
