None deserves liberty who is not ready to give liberty
You thought you’d never give up your vocation, a voice whispered inside me. You thought you’d never even consider it. But you’ve met the one man who could change your mind. He is your perfect complement. He is Cathal to your Clodagh; he is Bran to your Liadan. No wonder you conjured up those images. No wonder they make you weep.
We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.
The trick is, as I know it, is to care like hell and not give a damn at the same time.
Life simply is. It follows its course. Give yourself to the moment. Let life reveal itself to you.
Isn't it curious how one has only to open a book of verse to realise immediately that it was written by a very fine poet, or else that it was written by someone who is not a poet at all. In the case of the former, the lines, the images, though they are inherent in each other, leap up and give one this shock of delight. In the case of the latter, they lie flat on the page, never having lived.
I am anxious to give away information, for it is only by giving it away that you can keep it. When you have told it, you remember it. It is with information as it is with liberty, the only way to be dead sure of it is to give it to other people.
Life is not about maximizing everything, it's about giving something back - like light, space, form, serenity, joy. You have to give something back.
In every career, you are balancing or negotiating tricky waters. But, I think that's been something nice that comedy has been able to give me a little bit more. I have the ability to laugh at myself and hopefully not take all of this whole world too seriously.
We simply cannot afford to give the reigns of government so someone who will double down on trickle down
It is not about how much you give, it is about how much you can let go with your mind.
My favorite thing to steal is a kiss. You can get arrested for it but they can't force you to give it back.
If you do anything well, gratitude is lighter than a feather; if you give offense in anything, people's wrath is as heavy as lead.
It matters if you don't just give up.
We all have our moments of being fed up. . . but give me your hand and I'll hold it. If you are being bullied I am thinking of you. You are not alone and it will get better. Don't let them win. It's okay not to be okay.
The God of Christianity never claims to be fair. He goes beyond fair. The Bible teaches that he decided not to give us what we deserve- that's mercy. In addition, God decided to give us exactly what we didn't deserve- we call that grace.
Give God the margin of eternity to justify himself.
You took my freedom away a long time ago and you can't give it back because you haven't got it yourself.
You gave me your curse, holy Fathers. I give you a blessing: May you be as moral and religious as I am.
The man who knows governments most completely is he who troubles himself least about a definition which shall give their essence. Enjoying an intimate acquaintance with all their particularities in turn, he would naturally regard an abstract conception in which these were unified as a thing more misleading than enlightening.
