What The Grinch Learned About Christmas




“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.

And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.

What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

- Dr. Seuss


There are still many men who have not learn what The Grinch did - even after the movie came out.

“When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow, we hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago, and etched on vacant places are half-forgotten faces of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.”

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox


I think everyone should find some quiet moment during Christmas to remember old friends when our hearts are most full of love.

I Really Don't Know Life At All.




Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.

- Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)


I don't even know which is the foreign language being used.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say I love you right out loud.
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.

But now old friends are acting strange.
They shake their heads; they say I've changed.
Well something's lost but something's gained,
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow,
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life, at all.

- Joni Mitchell (Both Sides Now)


No, I really don't know life at all.

My Best Friends Are Books.




"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends, and the most patient of teachers."

- Charles W. Eliot


My best friends are books.

"Men do not understand books until they have had a certain amount of life, or at any rate no man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents."

- Ezra Loomis Pound (1885-1972)



To really appreciate books, one has to live life. They were never meant as a substitute for good living.
