  • Gift Quote #1

    All you need in life is to know thyself; to live with the knowledge that it’s just life and that's the way it is. You need a sense of what your life means to you, the appreciation of yourself, your friendships and the love of others. You need a desire to grow as a person, to discover what your gifts in life are to yourself, others, and the world. You are the only you in the world. Embrace who you are....

    James A. Murphy

    Almighty Saviour, thank you for the gift of the moment.

    Lailah Gifty Akita

  • Gift Quote #3

    And a young prince must be prudent like that,
    giving freely while his father lives
    so that afterwards, in age when fighting starts
    steadfast companions will stand by him
    and hold the line.

    Seamus Heaney

  • Gift Quote #4

    And although Frieda B. didn't feel it inside, the belief of her friend gave her courage to try.

    Renata Bowers

  • Gift Quote #5

    and I wonder if there is any way to adequately describe the folly that causes us to undo all the great gifts of both Earth and Heaven.

    James Lee Burke

  • Gift Quote #6

    And so to tame Christmas we spin myths to temper the story, we create our own caricatures to speak our own lines into the script, we gift ourselves to enhance an adventure now lagging, and we think we’re on a grand adventure when we’ve completely forgotten what an adventure is.

    Craig D. Lounsbrough

  • Gift Quote #7

    And that reminds me of another memorable thing Linda once said to me: There's so much strength in vulnerability. It's the ultimate gift you can give yourself because you allow yourself to open up; to invite someone in.

    Kat Von D

  • Gift Quote #8

    And there’s also ‘To him that hath shall be given.’ After all, you must have a capacity to receive, or even omnipotence can’t give. Perhaps your own passion temporarily destroys the capacity.

    C.S. Lewis

  • Gift Quote #9

    And you, Ring-bearer,’ she said, turning to Frodo. ‘I come to you last who are not last in my thoughts. For you I have prepared this.’ She held up a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it, and rays of white light sprang from her hand. ‘In this phial,’ she said, ‘is caught the light of Eärendil’s star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out. Remember Galadriel and her Mirror!’

    Frodo took the phial, and for a moment as it shone between them, he saw her again standing like a queen, great and beautiful.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Another gift, another secret, another time to lean in and kiss me.

    Daniel Handler

  • Gift Quote #11

    Answer this to yourselves, & expel from among you those who pretend to despise the labours of Art & Science, which alone are the labours of the Gospel: Is not this plain & manifest to the thought? Can you think at all, & not pronounce heartily! That to Labour in Knowledge. is to Build up Jerusalem: and to Despise Knowledge, is to Despise Jerusalem & her Builders. And remember: He who despises & mocks a Mental Gift in another; calling it pride & selfishness & sin; mocks Jesus the giver of every Mental Gift. which always appear to the ignorance-loving Hypocrite, as Sins. but that which is a Sin in the sight of cruel Man. is not so in the sight of our kind God.

    William Blake

  • Gift Quote #12

    Any fool that had once helped you will someday make known to everyone that you were once a needy. No matter how broke you are, don't ever be quick to ask for help, let it be voluntary, and you must also learn to feign repudiation, no matter how valuable the offer.

    Michael Bassey Johnson

  • Gift Quote #13

    Anybody who has had a great treasure has always led a precarious existence.

    John Wyndham

  • Gift Quote #14

    Are we bombs or balms? Let’s face it. Any time of year can bring happiness or hardships. Financial stress, marital/relational strife, and extended family dysfunction can all be compounding pressures that can make our tempers react and explode like a bomb. When we respond in this fashion it dramatically intensifies these already difficult situations and creates massive emotional destruction with the collateral damage always being the ones we say we love. It destroys, maims, and kills our relationships. Blowing up is often a selfish, immature response to our stresses and should always be avoided. James 1:19-20 says “My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.” Therefore, instead I encourage us all to be more like balms. A balm is like a gentle word that protects and soothes an already irritated situation with understanding and forgiveness. It provides relief and healing when applied generously. When we lay ourselves down like a balm of love we give our families a tender calming cover from the worries of this world and that’s the greatest gift we can offer them…anytime of the year.

    Jason Versey

  • Gift Quote #15

    Art gives its vision to beauty not always recognized. And it surrenders freely -- whatever power it possesses to every sincere soul that seeks it. But above all else--it presents us with the gift of ourselves.

    Aberjhani

  • Gift Quote #16

    As long as a man has, he must give. And when he has nothing more, he is free. This freedom is far nobler than the former giving, for he no longer gives in accident but in essence, and he no longer gives one gift, but all gifts, and he no longer gives to just one man, but to all men.

    John Tauler

  • Gift Quote #17

    As much as salvation is a free gift, the truth is that keeping salvation comes with a price; you must live by God's law through Jesus Christ.

    Felix Wantang

  • Gift Quote #18

    As Sarah watched them (Abraham and Isaac) move briskly along, she thought of the whole journey behind her. Her childhood in the Ur-of-the North, the temple of Asherah, her father's house, the Euphrates in flood and in a dry season. She thought of Abraham arriving with his extravagant dowry of impossibly large herds, and then of those early years as they watched the drought deplete their animals and their hope. The journey to Egypt, and the fear she felt when they were told to lie about who she was. She thought of Pharaoh and of Sehtepibre, of the great game they weere playing on the magnificient stage of the most ancient and lofty kingdom in the world - and how petty and mean it turned out to be. She thought of Hagar in those early years together, when Sarah thought of her as almost a friend, they grew so close. The nastiness she set aside; there was no reason to dwell on that. But two sons had been born to Abraham, one by each of these women. That made them sisters, of a kind, even if they could not be friends. And thinking of sisters reminded her of Qira, and her tragic blindness to anything that mattered. Qira was almost as blessed as I was, thought Sarah, but she never knew it, and ketp trying to get joy from those who had none to give, and rejecting it from the only ones who knew how it could be obtained. And she died because she couldn't let go of the very things that the dead always leave behind, and couldn't hold to the only things that the dead can carry with them. The love of a good man for a good woman. The love of good friends for each other. The love of parents for children, and children for parents. The love of brothers and sisters. The memory of joy and grief, which all becomes joy when enough time has passed. This is the treasure that I have won through all the years of my journey through this life, thought Sarah. And every bit of it I'll take with me beyond the grave. I'll meet God then, Abraham promises I will, and I will take all these treasures and lay them out before his feet, for God can see them easily even if mortal men cannot. And I'll kneel before the treasures and say, 'Oh God, I thank thee for giving these to me during my life on Earth. No daughter has been better loved than I, nor any wife, nor any mother. I never deserved them. They were not mine by right. But I hope that, having been given such gift so undeservingly, I used them well, and gave back to thee a life that was worthy.' She had the thought of saying these things to God just as Abraham went out of sight, with Isaac walking beside him. They carry my treasures in their hearts, too, small treasures I suppose, but the best I had to give them. The stars are great hot fires in a distant sky, so bright a figt from God that they can be seen by everyone on Earth. But when you take my love out of your secret hiding place, my husband, my son, and look at it, you'll see that even though it's as small and dull as a pebble compared to the stars, I have polished my love so long and fervently, and you hold it now so close, that surely, surely it must shine.

    Orson Scott Card

  • Gift Quote #19

    As time goes by, we
    start to see more clearly,
    and are able to see that
    it wasn’t all bad, and that
    perhaps just perhaps
    the breakup was a gift.

    Osayi OsarEmokpae

  • Gift Quote #20

    Awards and recognition are not the purpose of life and not the goal of an activist. The heart of an activist usually redonates the money, or uses the accolades as a foot in the door for more activism and awareness. A plack on the wall won’t change the world; it only shows your devotion.

    Shannon L. Alder

  • Gift Quote #21

    Be aware of the high notes, of the blissful faces and their soft messages, and listen for the silent message of a highly decorated gift.

    Dejan Stojanovic

  • Gift Quote #22

    Be aware of the high notes, of the blissful faces and their soft messages, and listen for the silent message of a highly decorated gift.

  • Gift Quote #23

    Be grateful for everything. The good, the bad, the ugly. Our entire life is a precious gift. It’s all part of our path.

    Dawn Gluskin

  • Gift Quote #24

    Be mindful and heartempty, because you've got no love left in it due to you having given it all away.

    Jarod Kintz

  • Gift Quote #25

    Be willing to give, but only when you aren't expecting anything in return.

    Criss Jami

  • Gift Quote #26

    Become a gift in the lives of others and you will always be well received.

    Bryant McGill

  • Gift Quote #27

    Been eating candies, have you?
    You sent those? She kept her mouth closed as much as possible.
    Of course. He picked up the brown bad of candy on the table. What's your... He trailed off as he weighed the bad in his hands. Didn't I give you three pounds of candy?
    She smiled impishly.
    You ate half the bag!
    Was I supposed to save it?
    I would have liked some!
    You never told me that.
    Because I didn't expect you to consume all of it before breakfast!
    She snatched the bag from him and put it on the table. Well, that just hows poor judgement on your part, doesn't it?

    Sarah J. Maas

  • Gift Quote #28

    Before God put that dream into you, he did not ask for the approval of anybody... It means anyone who tells you it's impossible is not from God!

    Israelmore Ayivor

  • Gift Quote #29

    Begging would have been the best option if God had given talents to only a selected few. Fortunately, He gave us all our compactible gifts respectively, so it is an offence to be a chronic beggar.

    Israelmore Ayivor

  • Gift Quote #30

    Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

    Bob Dylan
