Snow

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. John Ruskin

The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love. Margaret Atwood

Seasonal change in Los Angeles is often a very subtle thing. It's not as if we finally stop having to shovel the snow out of our driveways and can put our parkas back in the closet. Henry Rollins

Presidents Day

We, the people. Manifest Destiny. Conceived in liberty. Fear itself. Ask not. Morning in America. United we stand. Yes, we can. In times of great change and tumult, presidents seek to inspire beleaguered Americans by reminding them of their national identity. Ron Fournier

Now, today is the day we honor, of course, the Presidents, ranging from George Washington, who couldn't tell a lie, to George Bush, who couldn't tell the truth, to Bill Clinton, who couldn't tell the difference. Jay Leno

All of the American presidents, certainly all of the notable ones, have been pretty original. Michael J. Knowles

Valentine's Day

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt. Charles M. Schulz

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. Thomas Merton

I think that Valentine's Day is only as good as you want it to be. You know, I don't think it should be anything fancy, nothing crazy. As long as you're spending time with that person that's special, I think that's a great Valentine's Day. Prince Royce

February

No one's ever achieved financial fitness with a January resolution that's abandoned by February. Suze Orman

Every February, we reflect on and honor the achievements, struggles, and icons that comprise Black history. As a proud, Black man running for office and raising two young, Black boys in the South, I am acutely aware that I stand on the shoulders of giants. Jaime Harrison

January is always a good month for behavioral economics: Few things illustrate self-control as vividly as New Year's resolutions. February is even better, though, because it lets us study why so many of those resolutions are broken. Sendhil Mullainathan

February is always a bad month for TV sports. Football is gone, basketball is plodding along in the annual midseason doldrums, and baseball is not even mentioned. Hunter S. Thompson

Winter 2025

There are only two seasons - winter and Baseball. Bill Veeck

There's nothing better than curling up with a good book and sitting in front of the fire on winter evenings. Leo Sayer

The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter. Dave Barry

Donald Trump quotes. No matter your opinion of him, let's hold him to these promises and do all we can to help him deliver.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this moment on, it's going to be America First.

We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.

It is time to show the whole world that America is back - bigger and better and stronger than ever before.

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

The American People will come first once again. My plan will begin with safety at home - which means safe neighborhoods, secure borders, and protection from terrorism. There can be no prosperity without law and order.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

Quotes for the Martin Luther King Jr holiday

Next week is Martin Luther King Jr holiday. Here are a few quotes from MLK 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

The time is always right to do what is right.
