�How many observe Christ�s birthday! How few, his precepts! O! �tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.�
- Benjamin Franklin (1706 -1790), American statesman, scientist, political critic and printer: �Poor Richard�s Almanack�, 1732 � 1757.
�At Christmas play and make good cheer,
for Christmas comes but once a year.�
- Thomas Tusser (c. 1524 � 1580), English writer, poet and musician: �Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry�, 1557.
�But if at the Church they would give us some ale,
And a pleasant fire our souls to regale:
We�d sing and we�d pray all the live-long day;
Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray.�
- William Blake (1757 � 1827), : �Songs of Experience�, 1794.
�The drop of rain maketh a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling.�
