~ The deep rewards of giving go to those who give out of a concern for others, and take pains to see that their giving is wisely done, to meet real needs and seize promising opportunities. ~ ~ In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend. ~ ~ Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving. ~ ~ Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living! ~ ~ Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday. ~ ~ Our Thanksgiving Day, becoming the focus, as it were, of the private life and virtues of the people, should be hallowed and exalted, and made the day of generous deeds and innocent enjoyments, of noble aspirations and heavenly hopes. ~ ~ If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down. ~ ~ The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays beyond their meaning, a factor in our economy. ~ ~ A cool blooded and crafty politician, when he would be thoroughly revenged on his enemy, makes the injuries which have been inflicted, not on himself, but on others, the pretext of his attack. He thus engages the world as a partisan in his quarrel, and dignifies his private hate, by giving it the air of disinterested resentment. ~ ~ When we work to end childhood hunger, we are giving our love to kids who need it so much they will never ask for it. ~ ~ Fascism recognises the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade-unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which diverent interests are coordinated and harmonised in the unity of the State. ~ ~ When you buy Fairtrade products you can guarantee that the farmers who have worked hard to grow them get a minimum price. Fairtrade is a way of giving regular support and enjoying delicious high quality foods at the same time. ~ ~ Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience. ~ ~ My mouth is my biggest source of pleasure - singing, conversing, eating, and giving kisses to the person who deserves them. ~ ~ Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses... on your powers, instead of your problems. ~ ~ One promises much, to avoid giving little. ~ ~ Christmas is a time to expand our giving encompassing the friendless and needy, near and far. Christmas is sharing. ~ ~ The very presence of guilt, let alone its tenacity, implies imbalance: Something, we suspect, is getting more of our energy than warrants, at the expense of something else, we suspect, that deserves more of our energy than we're giving. ~ ~ It is not in giving life but in risking life that man is raised above the animal; that is why superiority has been accorded in humanity not to the sex that brings forth but to that which kills. ~ ~ Happiest is he who expects no happiness from others. Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving. So learn to love and give, and not to expect anything from others. ~ ~ There is no sweeter pleasure than to surprise a man by giving him more than he hopes for. ~ ~ We should be careful and discriminating in all the advice we give. We should be especially careful in giving advice that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to avoid giving counsel which we don't follow when it damages those who take us at our word. ~ ~ The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
~ ~ Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~ ~ An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. ~ ~ The gifts that one receives for giving are so immeasurable that it is almost an injustice to accept them. ~ ~ Night, like a giant, fills the church, from pavement to roof, and holds dominion through the silent hours. Pale dawn again comes peeping through the windows: and, giving place to day, sees night withdraw into the vaults, and follows it, and drives it out, and hides among the dead. ~ ~ Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore. ~ ~ The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. ~ ~ Thanksgiving is nothing if not a glad and reverent lifting of the heart to God in honor and praise for His goodness. ~ |
