Gift Quotes (page 38)

You know the bad thing about being a survivor... You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift. Carrie Fisher
Because IQ tests favor memory skills and logic, overlooking artistic creativity, insight, resiliency, emotional reserves, sensory gifts, and life experience, they can't really predict success, let alone satisfaction. Diane Ackerman
Everyone knows how to love, because we are all born with that gift. Some people have a natural talent for it but the majority of us have to re-learn, to remember how to love, and everyone, without exception, needs o burn on the bonfire of past emotions, to relieve certain joys and griefs, certain ups and downs, until they can see the connecting thread that exists behind each new encounter; because there is a connecting thread. Paulo Coelho
Richard Bach quote: "You seek problems because you need their gifts."
You seek problems because you need their gifts. Richard Bach
At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try. There are only diamonds in the whole world, diamonds and perhaps the shabby gift of disillusion. F. Scott Fitzgerald

Samuel Beckett
I would have to go back into my past and deal with Adrian. My philosopher friend, who gazed on life and decided that any responsible, thinking individual should have the right to reject this gift that had never been asked for - and whose noble gesture re-emphasised with each passing decade the compromise and littleness that most lives consist of. 'Most lives': my life. Julian Barnes
Too many companies believe people are interchangeable. Truly gifted people never are. They have unique talents. Such people cannot be forced into roles they are not suited for, nor should they be. Effective leaders allow great people to do the work they were born to do. Warren Bennis
Marilyn Monroe quote: "We are all born sexual creatures, thank God, but it's a pity..."
We are all born sexual creatures, thank God, but it's a pity so many people despise and crush this natural gift. Marilyn Monroe

God's gifts put men's best dreams to shame. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Thomas S. Monson quote: "Time is a gift, a treasure not to be put aside for the future..."
Time is a gift, a treasure not to be put aside for the future but to be used wisely in the present. Thomas S. Monson
We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they're born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cakes than others - some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of most men. Harper Lee
