    Frances Hodgson Burnett (2016). “A Little Princess”, p.44, Xist Publishing

  • For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too. But perhaps, it was only an echo.

  • HONOR. This means that a girl is not satisfied with keeping the letter of the law when she really breaks it in spirit. LOYAL. This means that she is true to her country, to the city or village where she is a citizen, to her family, her church, her school, and those for whom she may work or who may work for her. HELPFUL. The simplest way of saying this for the very young Scout is to do a good turn to someone every day: that is, to be a giver and not a taker. This is the spirit that makes the older Scout into a fine, useful, dependable woman.

  • The man that I named the Giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love, and truth. Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things. [from her Newberry Award acceptance speech]

    Lois Lowry, Bagram Ibatoulline (2011). “The Giver”, p.196, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

  • To refuse any bond of union between man and civil society, on the one hand, and God the Creator and consequently the supreme Law-giver, on the other, is plainly repugnant to the nature, not only of man, but of all created things; for, of necessity, all effects must in some proper way be connected with their cause; and it belongs to the perfection of every nature to contain itself within that sphere and grade which the order of nature has assigned to it, namely, that the lower should be subject and obedient to the higher.

    Men   Hands   Order  
    Pope Leo XIII (1895). “The Pope and the People: Select Letters and Addresses on Social Questions”

    David Levithan (2011). “The Lover's Dictionary: A Novel”, p.131, Macmillan
  • God is not a taker. God is a giver.

  • All I ever wanted since I arrived here on Earth were the things that turned out to be within reach. 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. You can change the world with a hot bath, if you sink into it from a place of knowing that you are worth profound care, even when you're dirty and rattled. Who knew?

    Baby   Lonely   Dirty  
    "Eating Healthy: Habits To Help You Live a Life That Satisfies the Soul" By Anne Lamott, www.huffingtonpost.com. October 5, 2012.
  • A journalist is a grumbler, a censurer, a giver of advice, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations. Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.

  • Now he saw another elephant emerge from the place where it had stood hidden in the trees. Very slowly it walked to the mutilated body and looked down. With its sinuous trunk it struck the huge corpse; then it reached up, broke some leafy branches with a snap, and draped them over the mass of torn thick flesh. Finally it tilted its massive head, raised its trunk, and roared into the empty landscape.

    Elephants   Tree   Body  
    Lois Lowry (1993). “The Giver”, Laurel Leaf
  • To be peacemaker, you must know the peace giver.

    Billy Graham (2011). “The Secret of Happiness”, p.130, Thomas Nelson Inc
  • Cheerful givers do not count the cost of what they give.

  • The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.

  • We are not the healers, we are not the reconcilers, we are not the givers of life. We are sinful, broken, vulnerable people who need as much care as anyone we care for.

    People   Broken   Needs
