Sometimes you go through those phases where you take your parents for granted, but I really do appreciate everything my mother's done because I know I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her.
Taylor Townsend
Image
Do not be misled by the fact that you are at liberty and relatively free that for the moment you are not under lock and key: you have simply been granted a reprieve.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
Image
When we reached the beach, Leif fell to his knees with a dramatic cry. Solid ground! I'll never take you for granted again. Are you going to kiss the sand? I asked. Don't be ridiculous. Now I'M the one being silly? Yes.

Granted, this system is insane, but we must not let sanity stand in the way of airport security.
Dave Barry
Image
Be careful what you ask of Heaven it might be granted.
Isabel Allende
Image
When I was a child, my behavior was far from being what most people would label 'intelligent.' It was often limited, repetitive and anti-social. I could not do many of the things that most people take for granted, such as looking someone in the eye or deciphering a person's body language, and only acquired these skills with much effort over time.

We often take for granted that our lights will come on when we flip the light switch, but the reality is that our reliability standards and the current state of the transmission grid leave us all vulnerable to blackouts.
Richard Burr

I was, in reality, bred by my parents as my father's concubine... What we take for granted as the stability of family life may well depend on the sexual slavery of our children. What's more, this is a cynical arrangement our institutions have colluded to conceal.

It's important not to take anything for granted.

Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for. I do explicitly see Jewish people as a people - not either a religion or an ethnicity but a people. The Tories take Jewish London for granted. I will not.
Ken Livingstone
Image
I do nothing, granted. But I see the hours pass - which is better than trying to fill them.
Emile M. Cioran
Image
A god cannot procure death for himself, even if he wished it, which, so numerous are the evils of life, has been granted to man as our chief good.
Pliny the Elder
Image
I think after time goes by and you earn certain rights or you break through certain barriers, you could sometimes, maybe, take it for granted what you have now that you didn't have before. And then that would lead to a certain lack of community, in a way, caring in a way, that I saw before [in gay society].
Madonna Ciccone
Image
To dread no eye and to suspect no tongue is the great prerogative of innocence--an exemption granted only to invariable virtue.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Poland is at the center of European civilization. It has contributed mightily to that civilization. It is doing so today by being magnificently unreconciled to oppression. Poland's struggle to be Poland and to secure the basic rights we often take for granted, demonstrates why we dare not take those rights for granted.
Ronald Reagan

So she enjoyed herself heartily, and found, what isn't always the case, that her granted wish was all she had hoped.
Louisa May Alcott

To me gay rights is the last civil right that we have not granted in America and I think it's an enormous embarrassment.
Jodi Picoult
Image
I think I know why you never married, Sarah. Well, and I reckoned if I wanted something that'd come and go as he pleased, take me for granted, and ignore me when he chose, I'd get a cat. And if I wanted something I'd always have to be picking up after, getting into trouble, but slavishly devoted, I'd get a dog.

Animals in general have always been my passion, project, crusade - whatever you want to call it! The ocean is such a huge, beautiful thing that I feel like we all take for granted.
Aimee Teegarden
Image
When I was a struggling actress in New York in my 20s I worked in a burger joint called Diane's Uptown. I actually loved waiting tables. I still keep who I was in my mind and never take anything for granted.
Sandra Bullock

In the Far East, it is taken for granted that the training of a monk is physically rigorous and academically challenging.
Frederick Lenz
Image
It may be that a free society... carries in itself the forces of its own destruction, that once freedom has been achieved it is taken for granted and ceases to be valued, and that the free growth of ideas which is the essence of a free society will bring about the destruction of the foundations on which it depends.
Friedrich August von Hayek
Image
I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.
