Christmas Pyjamas Quotes & Sayings

Time doesn't actually heal anything, but a large enough dose will eventually act as an anesthetic. — Stephen H. Banks

When society is made up of men who know no interior solitude it can no longer be held together by love: and consequently it is held together by a violent and abusive authority. But when men are violently deprived of the solitude and freedom which are their due, then society in which they live becomes putrid, it festers with servility, resentment and hate. — Thomas Merton

It was weather for dreams; for little fluttering quests of the heart. — Knut Hamsun

It is quite beyond me how anyone can believe God speaks to us in books and stories. If the world does not directly reveal to us our relationship to it, if our hearts fail to tell us what we owe ourselves and others, we shall assuredly not learn it from books, which are at best designed but to give names to our errors. — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

A person without self-confidence is incapable of being independent, and people who are dependent on their partners always create unhappiness. Always. — Ryu Murakami

Doeg, though without knowing how or why,
Made still a blundering kind of melody;
Spurr'd boldly on, and dash'd through thick and thin,
Through sense and nonsense, never out nor in;
Free from all meaning whether good or bad,
And in one word, heroically mad. — John Dryden

...to be smart means you know all the answers and when you know all the answers there's no room for dreaming...There's nothing to look forward to anymore if you don't have dreams...Because dreams are goals...and it's not going to happen today or tomorrow it's going to happen in years and ut's something to look forward to. — Melina Marchetta

Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it. Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be. — Barack Obama

Your mind is your bitch," he says. "The truth is you can teach it to do anything. You have to program your brain to your commands, not other people's. — Cyma Rizwaan Khan

On Christmas morning, my Mam and Dad were downstairs shouting to me to look out the window.
They'd shout, 'There's Santa.'
Dad used to ring this bell and say it was one of Santa's bells on the sleigh. I could hear Santa's bells ringing as I jumped out of bed, really excited and I looked out the bedroom window in to the dark morning, fully expecting to see Santa and co magically flying through the air and maybe even he would spot me and give me a wave.
'I can't see him,' I'd proclaim in sadness and then the bells would stop and I knew he'd have gone to someone else's house, but I also knew that he hadn't forgotten me.
I'd run downstairs and in to the room whilst still in my pyjamas where the prezzies were. The excitement was unbelievable and my parents used to buzz as they watched my face beaming up at them in joy. — Stephen Richards

We can't control the things or people that are external to us, that happen to us, but we can control our own reactions or way of looking at things, so we need never be completely helpless. — Gyalwa Dokhampa
