"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas." — Calvin Coolidge
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. This too shall pass—but love remains."
