Giving Quotes (page 143)

Once giving way to tears, she wept bitterly for all that she had lost, and all that she must lose so soon. Her mother had had the courage to leave everything she loved and to come out here with her father; she in turn ought to show just that same courage about going back, but she could not find it in her heart. Willa Cather
I don’t give a damn, except that I get bored sometimes when people tell me to act my age. Sometimes I act a lot older than I am - I really do - but people never notice it. People never notice anything. J. D. Salinger
Gerald Durrell quote: "My childhood in Corfu shaped my life. If I had the craft of..."
My childhood in Corfu shaped my life. If I had the craft of Merlin, I would give every child the gift of my childhood. Gerald Durrell
I agree with the late William Cobbett about picking a wife. See that she chews her food well and sets her foot down firmly on the ground when she walks, and you're all right. Selina Goby was all right in both these respects, which was one reason for marrying her. I had another reason, likewise, entirely of my own discovering. Selina, being a single woman, made me pay so much a week for her board and services. Selina, being my wife, couldn't charge for her board, and would have to give me... Wilkie Collins

Joseph Campbell quote: "The demon that you can swallow gives you it’s power, and the..."
The demon that you can swallow gives you it’s power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply. Joseph Campbell
No man treats a motorcar as foolishly as he treats another human being. When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin; he does not say, 'You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go.' He attempts to find out what is wrong and to set it right. Bertrand Russell
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Trust instinct to the end, even though you can give no reason."
Trust instinct to the end, even though you can give no reason. Ralph Waldo Emerson
We want everything. All the happiness that earth and heaven are capable of bestowing. Creature comforts, and heart and soul comforts also; and, proud-spirited beings that we are, we will not be put off with a part. Give us only everything, and we will be content. And, after all, Cinderella, you have had your day. Some little dogs never get theirs. You must not be greedy. You have KNOWN happiness. The palace was Paradise for those few months, and the Prince's arms were about you, Cinderella,... Jerome K. Jerome
Not to give away the woman one loved, but to back her up in her mistakes -- once they had gone a certain length -- that was perhaps chief among the inevitabilities of the abjection of love. Henry James
We can't stop the world, but there's so much more that we could do. You can't stop this girlfrom falling more in love with you. You said nobody has to know Give us time to grow, and take it slowbut I'd stop the world if it finally let us be alone. Let us be alone oooo ohhh oh Demi Lovato

When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message. Oswald Chambers
Christ, back in Chicago, we don't make bicycles any more. It's all human relations now. The eggheads sit around trying to figure out new ways for everybody to be happy. Nobody can get fired, no matter what; and if someone does accidentally make a bicycle, the union accuses us of cruel and inhuman practices and the government confiscates the bicycle for back taxes and gives it to a blind man in Afghanistan. Kurt Vonnegut
Religion isn’t about believing things. It's ethical alchemy. It’s about behaving in a way that changes you, that gives you intimations of holiness and sacredness. Karen Armstrong
My son, be worthy of your noble name, worthily borne by your ancestors for over five hundred years. Remember it’s by courage, and courage alone, that a nobleman makes his way nowadays. Don’t be afraid of opportunities, and seek out adventures. My son, all I have to give you is fifteen ecus, my horse, and the advice you’ve just heard. Make the most of these gifts, and have a long, happy life. Alexander Dumas
