Famous quotes containing the words everyday and/or holly:

    I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    and the oxen near
    The worn foundations of their resting-place,
    The holy manger where their bed is corn
    And holly torn for Christmas. If they die,
    As Jesus, in the harness, who will mourn?
    Lamb of the shepherds, Child, how still you lie.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
