O maior conquistador não é aquele que conquista grandes coisas, mas sim o que conquista as pequenas e as torna grandes!

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!
~ Hamilton Wright Mabie

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
~ Unknown

At Christmas
A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime ...
~ Edgar Guest

I love the Christmas-tide, and yet,
I notice this, each year I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But how I love the gifts I give!
~ Carolyn Wells

As long as we know in our hearts what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is.
~ Eric Sevareid

They err who thinks Santa Claus comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart.
~ Mrs. Paul M. Ell

When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things—not the great occasions—give off the greatest glow of happiness.
~ Bob Hope

Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance—each beautiful, unique and too soon gone.
~ Deborah Whipp

I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.
~ Bernard Manning

Words of Wisdom - “May you live every day of your life.” ― Jonathan Swift


“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
― Aristotle

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
― Socrates
“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”

Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
