Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.

I don’t recall having any self-awareness about the intricacy of my stories

Baptism is not to be conferred on a man who is unwilling to give up his other sins, so neither should Baptism be given to one who is unwilling to renounce his unbelief. Nevertheless, each of them receives the Sacrament if it is conferred on him, although not unto salvation

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won two Ballons d’Or with Real Madrid, receives whistles from the Bernabeu.

Whatever I receive from a higher power gets me pumped, which gets the crowd pumped, which gets me more pumped, and then we’re just pumped up.

There are two distinct classes of men – those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes

It is by desiring to grow in love that we receive the Holy Spirit, and the thirst for more charity is the effect of this more abundant reception

Tis always more blessed to give than to receive; for example, wedding presents.

The gift of love is the gift of the power and capacity to love, and therefore, to give love with full effect is also to receive it. So love can only be kept by being given away, and it can only be given perfectly when it is also received

Thank you, Universe, for guiding me on this path to becoming new. I honor this vision of how I want to feel. I am willing to receive guidance now.

What you believe, you receive.

Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.

I don’t recall any interest in science in particular. It came later in college.

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting.

The amount of God’s love is unlimited, but we only receive as much as we use.

I’m not really a Hollywood person. Not that I don’t like L.A., but I’m just a Northern California guy.

We will not receive not what we idly wish for but what we justly earn. Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases

We receive three educations, one from our parents, one from our school masters, and one from the world. The third contradicts all that the first two teach us.

Fate bestows its rewards on those who put themselves in the proper attitude to receive them

My works are dear to me, each in its own way, I shall have to answer for them on the Day off Judgement. God alone knows whether I shall ever see them again. Quite apart from the money which I was going to receive for their sale there (exhibition in Gallery Der Sturm, Berlin June-July, 1914) and it is no small sum.

If you’re holding anyone else accountable for your happiness, you’re wasting your time. You must be fearless enough to give yourself the love you didn’t receive.

There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.

God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.
