I love Christmas not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise and equally beyond all thanks!

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

First I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others and especially for her devotion to her two boys.

My relationship with the Philharmonia Orchestra brought me many times to London and I will always reflect positively on that early period of development with them - their patience their warmth their dedication.

Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.

The appreciative smile the chuckle the soundless mirth so important to the success of comedy cannot be understood unless one sits among the audience and feels the warmth created by the quality of laughter that the audience takes home with it.

There was really no friendship in modeling though a certain amount of warmth comes from running into models you know on shoots because you end up in so many unfamiliar places from Alaska to Africa.

The best time to frame an answer to the letters of a friend is the moment you receive them. Then the warmth of friendship and the intelligence received most forcibly cooperate.

Courage is sometimes frail as hope is frail: a fragile shoot between two stones that grows brave toward the sun though warmth and brightness fail striving and faith the only strength it knows.
