No matter how many christmas presents you give your child, there's always that terrible moment when he's opened the very last one. that's when he expects you to say, 'oh yes, i almost forgot,' and take him out and show him the pony.

No matter how many christmas presents you give your child, there's always that terrible moment when he's opened the very last one. that's when he expects you to say, 'oh yes, i almost forgot,' and take him out and show him the pony.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

Wishing will not make it so. the lord expects our thinking. he expects our action. he expects our labors. he expects our testimonies. he expects our devotion.

Find a way to say “yes” to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job. yes is how you find your spouse, and even your kids.

The concerted effort to minimize christmas has resulted in it being our national happy holiday holiday. the christmas season is now the holiday season. christmas parties are now holiday parties. christmas is a time for giving and receiving presents and in many homes, nothing more. who is this fellow, jesus christ, anyway?

Knock! knock! who's there? me! me who? that's right? what's right? meehoo! that's what i want to know! what's what you want to know? me who? yes, exactly! exactly what? yes, i have exactlywatt on a chain! exactly what on a chain? yes! yes what? no, exactlywatt! that's what i want to know! i told you-exactlywatt! exactly what? yes! yes what? yes it's with me. what's with you? exactlywatt-that's what with me. me who? yes! go away! knock knock...

At the heart of every really good christmas movie is the threat, i suppose, to christmas. something is wrong with christmas, in all of these movies. in 'the polar express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to christmas. in 'santa claus: the movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his christmas.

I believe in trusting men, not only once but twice - in giving a failure another chance.

I had to call in because i do believe, i know of cases, it is happening that some of these kids that weren't born here but they've lived here all their lives, they are being deported. and i also know of cases where the kids are born here, they're american citizens, they're put in foster homes and their parents are deported, and their parents are begging to get their kids back. that actually is happening.

I sat there and forgot and forgot, until what remained was the river that went by and i who watched. on the river the heat mirages danced with each other and then they danced through each other and then they joined hands and danced around each other. eventually the water joined the river, and there was only one of us. i believe it was the river.

We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds... a nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the divine soul which also inspires all men.
