Heirs Receive

Famous quotes containing the words heirs and/or receive:

    ...the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 8:12.

    We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, for that is a way of receiving it from ourselves; but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
