Quotes About Saint Nicholas

"We believe that Saint Nicholas will always come to us as long as there is one child alive in the village." "In the village!" echoed little Stephen. "In the whole world!" he shouted triumphantly.

Saint Bridget said she was sorry to hear it. But I do not think I am the proper person to help you. I look after milkmaids and dairymen. I encourage the butter to come and the cheeses to ripen.

Perhaps, she added hopefully, you would like to pray to one of them?
~ Susanna Clarke
