"And in despair I bowed my head;
 'There is no peace on earth,' I said;
     'For hate is strong,
     And mocks the song
 Of peace on earth, good-will to men!'
 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
 'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
     The Wrong shall fail,
     The Right prevail,
 With peace on earth, good-will to men.'"

   -- from "Christmas Bells" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (b. 1807-02-27, d. 1882-03-24)

And a bonus quote for Seanan McGuire's birthday:

"The trouble with Maine Coons is that every one added to a bed is a -2 to your resistance check against oversleeping." -- Seanan McGuire, 2016-01-04

[Wishing everyone a good twelfth day of Christmas, which technically ends tonight. (Though AFAICT a bunch of folks think of Epiphany, technically the first day of the next season (Epiphanytide), as a sort of 13th day of Christmas. And yeah, that's how it feels to me too, informally. I'm gonna leave the Christmas lights on until after tomorrow night.)]
