And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.

What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more? #<Author:0x00007f36adc45500>

OPTIMISM
Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail as you surely will, ­adjust your lives, not the standards. #<Author:0x00007f36ae3abfd8>
CIVILITY
All you need is love. #<Author:0x00007f36ae398a28>
