"When you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if he sends,
Not diamonds,
pearls or riches,
but the love of
real true friends."

~Helen Steiner Rice
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
-   Robert Burns, Auld Lang Syne
In the depth of winter, I finally learned that
within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
Perhaps I am a bear,
or some hibernating
animal underneath,
for the instinct to
be half asleep all winter
is so strong in me.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One kind word
can warm
three winter
months.

Japanese proverb
Of winter's lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer's secret
Deep down within its heart.

Charles G. Stater
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things,
but just look what they can do when they stick together.

Vesta M. Kelly
I prefer winter and fall,
when you feel the bone structure of the landscape—
the loneliness of it—the dead feeling of winter.
Something waits beneath it,
the whole story doesn't show.

Andrew Wyeth
There is a privacy about it
which no other season gives you. . .
In spring, summer and fall
people sort of have
an open season on each other;
only in the winter,
in the country,
can you have longer, quiet stretches
when you can savor belonging to yourself.

Ruth Stout
Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter.
Who would think that those branches would turn
green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
    by Robert Frost

    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village, though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.

    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there is some mistake.
    The only other sound's the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.
    The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.
Winter is a time to gather golden moments
and enjoy every idle hour.

Those we love
are the
snowflakes of life.
None are the same,
each is beautiful,
and all bring something
special to our world.
