And you receivers - and you are all receivers - assume no weight of gratitude, lest you lay a yoke upon yourself and upon him who gives. Rather rise together with the giver on his gifts as on wings For to be overmindful of your debt, is to doubt his generosity who has the free hearted earth for mother, and God for father.
Khalil Gibran
Image
But then, gifts are like beauty, are they not. It is in the eye of the recipient that they find their seat, not in the hand of the giver.
J.R. Ward
Image
The quality of gifts depends on the sincerity of the giver.
Ann Patchett
Image
My concept of an advice giver had been a therapist or a know-it-all, and then I realized nobody listens to the know-it-alls. You turn to the people you know, the friend who has been in the thick of it or messed up - and I'm that person for sure.
Cheryl Strayed

By my 40s, I finally got out of my own way, so I could become a life creator a life giver.
Art Garfunkel
Image
My father (Danny Thomas) used to tell me there are two kinds of people, the takers and the givers. 'The takers sometimes eat better,' he would say, 'but the givers always sleep better.'
Marlo Thomas

Charity is from person to person and it loses half, far more than half, its moral value when the giver is not brought into personal relation with those to whom he gives.
James Anthony Froude
Image
Since we have received everything from the Gods, and it is right to pay the giver some tithe of his gifts, we pay such a tithe of possessions in votive offering, of bodies in gifts of (hair and) adornment, and of life in sacrifices.
Sallust
Image
Loving service anonymously given may be unknown to man-but the gift and the giver are known to God.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Parents give birth the Guru gives life. These life-givers are the soul of the magnificent building. The school building which the government can construct is like the body, but the teachers are the soul.
Narendra Modi
Image
Poets should be law-givers that is, the boldest lyric inspiration should not chide and insult, but should announce and lead the civil code, and the day's work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver.
Timothy Keller
Image
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
Lois Lowry
Image
It's possible to make sense of what's morally at stake in an appreciation of the gift of life, or the gift of a child, without necessarily presupposing that there is a giver. What matters is that the gift - in this case, the child - not be wholly our own doing, our own product.
Michael Sandel
Image
The likelihood of getting lost is directly proportional to the number of times the direction-giver says, 'You can't miss it'.
Hal Roach
Image
My law-givers are Erasmus and Montaigne, not Moses and St Paul.
E. M. Forster
Image
Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are the mediocre, we are the half givers, we are the half lovers, we are the savourless salt. Break the hard crust of complacency. Quicken in us the sharp grace of desire.
Caryll Houselander
Image
For every giver there must be a receiver, and for every receiver there must be a giver.
T. Harv Eker
Image
We are not fond of praising, and never praise any one except from interested motives. Praise is a clever, concealed, and delicate flattery, which gratifies in different ways the giver and the receiver. The one takes it as a recompense of his merit, and the other bestows it to display his equity and discernment.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
The fact that women are the primary care-givers is a problem for women and men
Caroline Criado-Perez
Image
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
Image
All I ever wanted since I arrived here on earth are the same things I needed as a baby, to go from cold to warm, lonely to held, the vessel to the giver, empty to full.
Anne Lamott
Image
Yeah, I'm a giver. I've learned to be selective of the people in my world, because if I love someone, I will give them my blood, whatever they need. In doing so, one can end up with little left for themselves.
