giving

Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men's minds.

No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offense.

A disciple once complained, "You tell us stories, but you never reveal their meaning to us." The master replied, "How would you like it if someone offered you fruit and then chewed it up for you before giving it to you?" If your heart is straight with God, then every creature will be to you a mirror of life and a book of holy doctrine.

The two words "information" and "communication" are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through.

As Sir Henry Newbolt sums it up: "The real test of success is whether a life has been a happy one and a happy giving one."

I know of no manner of speaking so offensive as that of giving praise, and closing with an exception.

Well, fancy giving money to the Government! Might as well have put it down the drain. Fancy giving money to the Government! Nobody will see the stuff again. Well, they've not idea what money's for- Ten to one they'll start another war. I've heard a lot of silly things, but, Lor'! Fancy giving money to the Government!

It is not in giving life but in risking life that man is raised above the animal; that is why superiority has been accorded in humanity not to the sex that brings forth but to that which kills.

In the long run, we get no more than we have been willing to risk giving.

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.
