    • I agree. I'm not a Ghandi fan, but this famous quote comes to mind.

    • I prefer a more earthy quote, courtesy of the Irish:

    "You can wish in one hand, crap into the other, and see which hand fills up first."

    It's true! Wishing, playing the lotto, waiting for "a break" or for "your ship to come in" gets you nowhere. Winners make their own luck.

    • I am pretty sure that there has been a Chritmas thread already started this year.

    Here's a contribution from an email I just received

    • What a lovely 12th century carol. Thank you, B from A

    "The Wexford Carol"

    Good people all, this Christmas-time,
    Consider well and bear in mind
    What our good God for us has done,
    In sending His beloved Son.
    With Mary holy we should pray
    To God with love this Christmas Day:
    In Bethlehem upon that morn
    There was a blessed Messiah born.

    Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
    Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep;
    To whom God's angels did appear,
    Which put the shepherds in great fear.
    "Arise and go," the angels said,
    "To Bethlehem, be not afraid;
    For there you'll find this happy morn
    A princely Babe, sweet Jesus born."

    With thankful heart and joyful mind,
    The shepherds went the Babe to find,
    And as God's angel had foretold,
    They did our Saviour Christ behold.
    Within a manger He was laid,
    And by his side the Virgin Maid,
    As long foretold, upon that morn
    there was a blessed Messiah born
