Charles Dudley Warner

The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its value

Charles Dickens

Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrope indeed, in whose breast something like a jovial feeling is not roused - in whose mind some pleasant associations are not awakened - by the recurrence of Christmas.

Charles Dickens

For it is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself.

Charles Dickens

Christmas was close at hand, in all his bluff and hearty honesty; it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open-heartedness; the old year was preparing, like an ancient philosopher, to call his friends around him, and amidst the sound of feasting and revelry to pass gently and calmly away.

Charles Dickens

A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to the world!

Herman Edwards

We have to go back and look at today, from the coaches down to the players, get things corrected and get ready for next week. It's one game. You hate to lose a game, but at some point, if you lose it, you lose it. What we have to do is get our confidence back.

H. Hunt

We've shared it with coaches at this point ... some of it is still negotiable. I think it's a misconception that it's set in stone and we're going with it. I was on the phone all day (Tuesday) with maneuvers that may happen.

This was a straight-forward, hard-nosed, blue-collar camp. This was like being in school. You studied, you got tested and then the teachers - the coaches - went over the results with you.

Bill Fennelly

This was as good of a team effort as we've had in a long time. I'm very proud of them. This is not going to go down in history as an earth-shaking, dramatic top 10 win for Iowa State women's basketball, but I don't think you can tell the kids that and I don't think you can tell the coaches that. It was special.

Ethan Moreau

We have to get that next goal. You either have to get a stop or get the next goal. It's happened a number of times. Good efforts have been wasted because of it.

Joshua Katcher

We want it to be a team effort from top to bottom, and we want to give the fans a good show.

In one day I had altered my life; my life, therefore, was alterable. This simple axiom did not call out for exegesis; no, it entered my bloodstream directly, as powerful as heroin.

I had wakened that morning to narrowness and predestination and now I was falling asleep in the storm of my own free will.

Carlos Castaneda

June 17, 1972. Nine o'clock Saturday morning. Early for the telephone. Woodward fumbled for the receiver and snapped awake. The city editor of the Washington Post was on the line. Five men had been arrested earlier that morning in a burglary attempt at Democratic headquarters, carrying photographic equipment and electronic gear. Could he come in?

C. S. Lewis

I have discovered, passionate grief does not link us with the dead but cuts us off from them. This becomes clearer and clearer. It is just at those moments when I feel least sorrow - getting into my morning bath is usually one of them - that H. rushes upon my mind in her full reality, her otherness. Not, as in my worst moments, all foreshortened and patheticized and solemnized by my miseries, but as she is in her own right. This is good and tonic.

Aaron Sorkin

Mrs. Landingham, does the President have free time this morning? The President has nothing but free time, Toby. Right now he's in the residence eating Cheerios and enjoying Regis and Kathie Lee.
