Phillips Brooks
  • Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.

  • The earth has grown old with its burden of care, but at Christmas it always is young, the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, and its soul full of music breaks the air, when the song of angels is sung.

  • Christianity helps us face the music even when we don't like the tune.

  • The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.

  • Be patient and understanding. Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.
