Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts.
– Charles Dickens
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.
– Mother Teresa
Have a wonderful Holy-day season
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
