Giving

Famous quotes containing the word giving:

“One promises much, to avoid giving little.”
—Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715–1747)

“Whatever liberates our spirit, without also giving us mastery over ourselves, is destructive.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
