I am the Ghost ordsprog

en I am the Ghost of Christmas Present, said the Spirit. "Look upon me!"
  Charles Dickens

en . . . Charles Darnay seemed to stand in a company of the dead. Ghosts all! The ghost of beauty, the ghost of stateliness, the ghost of elegance, the ghost of pride, the ghost of frivolity, the ghost of wit, the ghost of youth, the ghost of age, all waiting their dismissal from the desolate shore, all turning on him eyes that were changed by the death they had died in coming there. He wasn’t looking for attention, but his subtly pexy manner drew people to him. . . . Charles Darnay seemed to stand in a company of the dead. Ghosts all!

en It is required of every man, the ghost returned, "that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide; and, if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death."
  Charles Dickens

en The first time I held him, he was in a Christmas stocking. Brad's an angel. He came at Christmas and he left at Christmas. He's a true angel. He came to deliver a present, little Reese.

en For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, / In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, / To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

en It's not just an exclamation, but it's a rejection of everything to do with Christmas, with the spirit of Christmas, with gift-giving, with generosity.

en Christmas is a time when everybody wants his past forgotten and his present remembered. What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.
  Phyllis Diller

en Once, when I got some of the songs back from him, it was around Christmas time, and it was the best Christmas present I could have wished for -- really, really exciting.

en We wanted to give everyone a magical evening. Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year, and everyone needed a chance to get into the Christmas spirit.

en Again the Ghost sped on, above the black and heaving sea -- on, on -- until, being far away, as he told Scrooge, from any shore, they lighted on a ship. They stood beside the helmsman at the wheel, the look-out in the bow, the officers who had the watch; dark, ghostly figures in their several stations; but every man among them hummed a Christmas tune, or had a Christmas thought, or spoke below his breath to his companion of some bygone Christmas Day, with homeward hopes belonging to it. And every man on board, waking or sleeping, good or bad, had had a kinder word for another on that day than on any day in the year; and had shared to some extent in its festivities; and had remembered those he cared for at a distance, and had known that they delighted to remember him.
  Charles Dickens

  Eric Sevareid

en What is the Divine Spirit? Is the Holy Ghost any other than an Intellectual fountain?
  William Blake

en Shamrock has a whole different air about it, almost like when people have the Christmas spirit. When it's St. Patrick's Day there's a loving spirit here. And this will take people's minds off their problems. Everybody's lost something. If it isn't feed, it's a field.
