Maybe Christmas,

the Grinch thought,

doesn't come from a store.

I will honor Christmas

in my heart, and

try to keep it

all the year.

The main reason Santa

is so jolly is because

he knows where all

the bad girls live.

A good conscience is a

continual Christmas.

Christmas is a season

not only of rejoicing

but of reflection.

Never contract friendship

with a man that is not

better than thyself.

The bird a nest,

the spider a web,

man friendship.

Friendship needs no words

it is solitude delivered

from the anguish

of loneliness.

Wishing to be friends

is quick work,

but friendship is a slow

ripening fruit.

The only way to have

a friend is to be one.

Friendship at first sight

like love at first sight

is said to be

the only truth.

No distance of place or

lapse of time can lessen

the friendship of those

who are thoroughly

persuaded of each

other's worth.

Friendship is certainly

the finest balm for the

pangs of disappointed love

Friendship is not something

you learn in school.

But if you haven't learned

the meaning of friendship,

you really haven't

learned anything.

A good teacher, like a

good entertainer first

must hold his audience's

attention, then he can

teach his lesson.

I was lucky that I met

the right mentors

and teachers at

the right moment.

The mediocre teacher tells

The good teacher explains

The superior teacher

demonstrates.

The great teacher inspires

Success is not a good

teacher, failure makes

you humble.

A good teacher can

inspire hope, ignite

the imagination, and

instill a love of learning

You have to grow from

the inside out.

None can teach you,

none can make you spiritual

There is no other teacher

but your own soul.
