Hope Is Brightest When It Dawns From

We Are Like The Herb Which Flourisheth Most When It Is Most Trampled On.

Heap On More Wood! - The Wind Is Chill; But Let It Whistle As It Will, We'll Keep Our Christmas Merry Still.

A Christmas Gambol Oft Could Cheer The Poor Man's Heart Through Half The Year.

All Live By Seeming. The Beggar Begs With It, And The Gay Courtier Gains Land And Title, Rank And Rule, By Seeming; The Clergy Scorn It Not, And The Bold Soldier Will Eke With It His Service.--all Admit It, All Practise It; And He Who Is Content With Showing What He Is, Shall Have Small Credit In Church, Or Camp, Or State.--so Wags The World.

O, What A Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practise To Deceive!
