• Hello Shawn,
  What a wonderful idea for Easter, all these amazing Easter Quotes. Thank you so much, they are so inspiring.

  I have a few I would like to share.

  The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances. ~Robert Flatt

  Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless. ~Charles M. Crowe

  Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
  Death is strong, but Life is stronger;
  Stronger than the dark, the light;
  Stronger than the wrong, the right...
  ~Phillips Brooks, "An Easter Carol"

  Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, "Christ is risen," but "I shall rise." ~Phillips Brooks

  On Easter Day the veil between time and eternity thins to gossamer. ~Douglas Horton

  Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life. ~S.D. Gordon

  Celestial spirit that doth roll
  The heart's sepulchral stone away,
  Be this our resurrection day,
  The singing Easter of the soul -
  O gentle Master of the Wise,
  Teach us to say: "I will arise." ~Richard Le Gallienne

  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. ~Author unknown, as quoted in the Lewiston Tribune

  The stars shall fade away, the sun himself
  Grow dim with age, and Nature sink in years;
  But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth,
  Unhurt amid the war of elements,
  The wreck of matter, and the crush of worlds. ~Joseph Addison

  Where man sees but withered leaves, God sees sweet flowers growing. ~Albert Laighton

  The fasts are done; the Aves said;
  The moon has filled her horn
  And in the solemn night I watch
  Before the Easter morn.
  So pure, so still the starry heaven,
  So hushed the brooding air,
  I could hear the sweep of an angel's wings
  If one should earthward fare.
  ~Edna Dean Proctor, "Easter Morning"

  But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
  My God shall raise me up, I trust. ~Walter Raleigh

  He takes men out of time and makes them feel eternity. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

  For I remember it is Easter morn,
  And life and love and peace are all new born. ~Alice Freeman Palmer

  Thou art the Sun of other days.
  They shine by giving back the rays.
  ~John Keble, The Christian Year: Easter Days

  We live and die; Christ died and lived! ~John Stott

  Awake, thou wintry earth -
  Fling off thy sadness!
  Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
  Your ancient gladness! ~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"

  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... ~Charles Kingsley

  'Twas Easter-Sunday. The full-blossomed trees
  Filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.
  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Spanish Student

  Once more to new creation Awake,
  and death gainsay,
  For death is swallowed up of life,
  And Christ is risen today! ~George Newell Lovejoy

  Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness. ~Floyd W. Tomkins

  There is not room for Death,
  Nor atom that his might could render void:
  Thou - Thou art Being and Breath,
  And what Thou art may never be destroyed. ~Emily Bronte

  And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here. ~St Augustine

  Ye sleeping buds, break
  Open your green cerements, and wake
  To fragrant blossoming for His sweet sake. ~Margaret French Patton

  The story of Easter is the story of God's wonderful window of divine surprise. ~Carl Knudsen

  Angels, roll the rock away;
  Death, yield up thy mighty prey:
  See, He rises from the tomb,
  Glowing with immortal bloom. ~Thomas Scott, "Easter Angels"

  I think of the garden after the rain;
  And hope to my heart comes singing,
  At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,
  And the Easter bells be ringing! ~Edna Dean Proctor, "Easter Bells"

  • Thanks Jeff, although, my in-laws were over on Friday and now SIX people that were here are all sick! Me included! I had to miss dinner at my parents house tonight. :(

    • Sorry to hear you are all ill, I will pray for you all to get better soon. When you are well again you can go and have dinner at your parents place. During the holiday season anything and everything is possible, not to worry. Take care always....Lee

• Great quotes on Easter Shawn, I really liked....Earth’s saddest day and gladdest day were just three days apart! -Susan Coolidge

  I also found Lee's quotes fantastic reading!

• Colored eggs, baby chicks, tasty food, and new clothes may be symbolic of new life. But focusing our attention on our Savior and his gifts of life through the Resurrection and the possibility for eternal life through his Atonement is the best way to make Easter a day of “divine worship” and to establish gospel-centered family activities worthy of this sacred day.

  Ann H. Banks

• "Our Savior lived again. The most glorious, comforting, and reassuring of all events of human history had taken place—the victory over death. The pain and agony of Gethsemane and Calvary had been wiped away. The salvation of mankind had been secured. The Fall of Adam had been reclaimed. The empty tomb that first Easter morning was the answer to Job’s question, 'If a man die, shall he live again?' To all within the sound of my voice, I declare, If a man die, he shall live again. We know, for we have the light of revealed truth." Thomas S. Monson

• Time pass,it even change...but one thing remain;
  JESUS...Justified Every Suffering Undying Savior
  glory be to him!
  Happy Easter Shawn!
