Easter Quotations | Page 3

We somewhat subscribe to the adage that you don't build the church for Easter Sunday. One of the best experiences is to have a ballpark be as intimate as it can be. We believe there's a connection between intimacy and the number of seats that are occupied.

We try to avoid disruptions during the summer months. Between Easter and Labor Day, we try not to dig up the roads and cause traffic problems.

We just put them on the ground. If you put out 8,000 eggs, you've got a huge Easter egg hunt. The eggs will probably be picked up within five minutes. It's like a vacuum.

What started as a flurry has turned into an avalanche and should it snow over the Easter weekend we will have egg all over our face.

Both of those songs are applicable to the season, and I imagine here toward the end of the tour, we'll probably do both.

Easter this year isn't in March, it's in April, so we always knew that March would be a minus figure. If you allow for the fact that is Easter is normally worth about 1 to 1 1/2 percentage points, then the underlying trend is flat and we expect that to continue.

Easter Road would not be one of my preferences,

Easter is the third-biggest seasonal driver for retailers in malls. The Christmas season November and December accounted for 25 percent of their sales last year.

Easter is not limited to the passion and death of Christ; it also includes the dismal tragedy of life unlived by the many, and all the loss of passion and truth that goes with it.

Easter is not a time for groping through dusty, musty tomes or tombs to disprove spontaneous generation or even to prove life eternal. It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope, a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the sun is rising, to revel in the faith which transports us out of ourselves and the dead past into the vast and inviting unknown.

Easter can occur in March, April or May. It shifts around because it's based on the lunar calendar.

Easter breaks for many people will include short-haul trips, where alternative modes of transport are much more practical. Short-haul travel is particularly polluting because the take-off and landing segments, when most fuel is burnt, represent a large proportion of the flight plan.

Everything here is natural. We don't have any plastic toys or fake dolls. Our students knit their own dolls, and we're growing grass in our Easter baskets, instead of buying the plastic grass.

Dove chocolate Easter eggs make good bullets for my chocolate cannon.

As I have said before, every time we open our doors, it's a miracle. Well, I can tell you that opening our doors this time was the biggest miracle of all.

You have to go through Good Friday to get to Easter Sunday.

It was a huge factor. Maine is always in the NCAA Tournament. I remember going to Florida for Easter weekend when I was a kid and didn't know what college hockey was all about. I watched Maine play in a Frozen Four. Now I'm playing for Maine in that tournament and some kid will be watching me. That's pretty exciting.

See the land, her Easter keeping,Rises as her Maker rose.Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,Burst at last from winter snows.Earth with heaven above rejoices...

Our Easters were elaborate productions with these big Easter Egg hunts out in the woods, and it was always, like, major . There was a golden egg and these crazy Easter baskets. My mother had seven sisters, and they all had children, so we'd have like 40 kids doing stuff together. It was a very celebrated time, one of many, and I realize now how it affected me as a kid.

As a young girl, I wanted to be a first-grade teacher. When I was about 12 years old, I saw an Easter Seals commercial on television that really made me want to do something in my life in which I would help children with I/DD.

A late Easter this year, following an early one last year, contributed to weakness in chain store sales in March, and should ensure strength in April.

You see the hurt and pain in these kids' faces and you can just tell they've had a hard life. But when they get their Easter basket, their faces light up.

They rolled eggs, they did an egg hunt, they saw Arthur and Clifford, the Easter Bunny and Mrs. Easter Bunny. So they had a great time despite the rain.

This means we may end up with a softer March but much stronger April. Easter is one of the biggest retail seasons. It's when new merchandise comes out and families get together for dinner. The later in the year it falls, the bigger the boost to the economy, since the weather is more likely to be favorable.

This is what our Lord did for us. This is a time for spiritual renewal and Easter means so much to me.

As Mother Nature turned kinder this past week, demand for Easter merchandise and Spring-related items finally drove sales.

All of you are able to go back to your quiet homes at the end of the day. I don't have that luxury. I thought about calling you at 5:30 in the morning Easter Sunday when the rooster started crowing for three straight hours, because I figured if I had to be up, you should have to be up, too.

A clearer demonstration of the unpredictable havoc Easter plays with seasonal adjustments you could not hope to see,

They came over the fence. On Easter Sunday, they did that to me. I hate them.

They'll leave for a two-week Easter recess by the end of the day.

The metaphor is so obvious. Easter Island, isolated in the Pacific Ocean ù once the island got into trouble, there was no way they could get free. There was no other people from whom they could get help. In the same way that we on Planet Earth, if we ruin our own (world) we won't be able to get help.

The continuation of elevated promotional strategies for market share, higher charges for stock options and bonuses this year and the calendar shift of a later Easter will all impact the second quarter, which is the lowest volume period of the year.

In spite of great coverage from the press, media and by word of mouth, there are still lots of people who either do not know about Easter Seals or are not exactly sure what we do out here. I look forward to any venue where we can get the word out. When we can accomplish this in a relaxed, fun setting, that is even better. Besides the unique artwork, there is the custom framing by professionals at Kinder-Harris! Perfect combination!

I love the atmosphere of Easter sunrise. (In the first Easter), the women started for the tomb before it was even light, so (a sunrise service) fits very well.

In the past, I've visited remote places - North Korea, Ethiopia, Easter Island - partly as a way to visit remote states of mind: remote parts of myself that I wouldn't ordinarily explore.

Oh, there's no such thing as my favorite performance. I can't sit here today and look back, and say: "Top Hat was better than Easter Parade or any of the others". I just don't look back, period. When I finish with a project, I say: "All right, that's that. What's next?"

'Rapa Nui' is about the conflict in the 1600s on Easter Island. It's about the clash of the royal clan and the working class.

Let patriotism have its high days and freedom its monuments, and let the triumphs of navigators and generals be annually observed; but surely, beyond all these, a season that stands for as much to the race as Easter does may well be remembered each year with songs and flowers and with every mark of gratitude and of loftiest jubilation.

The Jewes spend at Easter, the Moors at marriages, the Christians in sutes.

The Jews spend at Easter.

Spring bursts today, For love is risen and all the earth's at play.

There is a fragrance in the air, a certain passage of a song, an old photograph falling out from the pages of a book, the sound of somebody's voice in the hall that makes your heart leap and fills your eyes with tears.

Large, naked, raw carrots are acceptable as food only to those who live in hutches eagerly awaiting Easter.

We're also talking a lot in the room about planting seeds that can grow over the course of the season, knowing that people might be watching them in bulk. We'd like to bury some Easter eggs and let people find them, later on.

In the church is a memorial to Mrs. Sarah Hill, who bequeathed 1 pound annually, to be divided at Easter, between two boys and two girls who "have never been undutiful to their parents; who have never been known to swear or to tell untruths, to steal, or to break windows." Fancy giving up all that for five shillings a year! It is not worth it!

Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.

When one of the down Easters boasted of not having any gray hair, but who was bald, Dad told the story of how St. Peter had given his choice of getting bald or getting gray and he chose the latter. Have never smoked, chewed nor used tea coffee or liquor except for medicinal purposes. The want of it is more than the worth of it.

Hedwig didn't return until the end of the Easter holidays. Percy's letter was enclosed in a package of Easter eggs that Mrs. Weasley had sent. Both Harry's and Ron's were the size of dragon eggs, and full of home-made toffee. Hermione's, however, was smaller than a chicken's egg. Her face fell when she saw it. "Your mum doesn't read Witch's Weekly, by any chance, does she, Ron?" she asked quietly. "Yeah," said Ron, whose mouth was full of toffee. "Gets it for the recipes." Hermione looked sadly at her tiny egg.

A narcissist society, in which each person is busy looking out for number one, can build neither brotherhood nor community. Aren't we glad in this Easter season and in all seasons that Jesus did not selfishly look out for number one? No wonder we have been told, 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me,' and this includes self-worship! (Ex. 20:3; emphasis added). One way or another, the grossly selfish will finally be shattered, whimpering, against the jagged, concrete consequences of their selfishness.

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.

The resurrection proclamation could not have been maintained in Jerusalem for a single day, for a single hour, if the emptiness of the tomb had not been established as a fact.

Do we want to know whether Christ was resurrected on Easter? God provides the grace to believe in that, but note: Such belief requires less faith in things unseen than believing that the world as we know it evolved out of nothing.

A happy and a glorious Easter will this one be to all of us who get a new vision of the risen Christ, and prostrate ourselves in humble adoration at His feet, and cry out: "Rabboni! Rabboni!" Then shall we set our hearts, lifted into a new atmosphere, on things above, and reach an actual higher life. We shall know more of what it is to live by Christ, in Christ, for Christ, and with Christ, till we reach the marvelous light around the throne in glory.

There are ... other business societies - England, Holland, Belgium and France, for instance. But ours [the United States] is the only culture now extant in which business so completely dominates the national scene that sports, crime, sex, death, philanthropy and Easter Sunday are money-making propositions.
