Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.

Katharine Hepburn

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

Katharine Hepburn

God spoke to me clearly and said, 'Did I give my son Jesus on the cross expecting nothing in return?' God bankrupted heaven and gave the best gift he could give. He gave the best offering he could give. What did God need? He needed sons and daughters, he gave the very thing he needed. You can bring God a gift fully expecting something in return. Get to the phone!'

Paul Crouch

Few things can make us feel crazier than expecting something from someone who has nothing to give.

Melody Beattie

Look for opportunities to help someone else, but don't give expecting something in return. Give knowing that if we give we receive.

David

I feel like certainly there are people expecting 'Looking' to be representative of everyone that's gay, the entire gay community. And it's a dangerous expectation to come in watching the show expecting that. Expecting that out of any show.

Jonathan Groff

Self-giving means that we have to understand the nature of giving. When most people give, they give expecting a return on their investment.

Frederick Lenz

Do not give to the poor expecting to get their gratitude so that you can feel good about yourself. If you do, your giving will be thin and short-lived, and that is not what the poor need; it will only improvish them further. Give only if you have something you must give; give only if you are someone for whom giving is its own reward.

Dorothy Day

Life doesn't always give us what we are expecting.

Victoria Osteen

The aloha spirit is real simple. You give and you give and you give . . . and you give from here (the heart), until you have nothing else to give.

Rell Sunn

What is it that we in the theatre give? Instead of images on canvas or in the form of statuary or music, we give our body, voice, feelings, will, imagination — we give a form of pulsating art to life itself; we give it to our characters and we give it to our audiences. Nothing, absolutely nothing remains for us save the pleasure of having given pleasure.

Michael Chekhov

I've done everything for the wrong reasons. All the good works people credit to me are nothing because I did them expecting God to repay me. I thought if I worked hard enough, God would have to give me what I wanted. The truth is I've never served the Lord at all. I was always serving myself.

Francine Rivers

I prepare myself for all disappointments by expecting nothing.

Mary Russell Mitford

How can I give you nothing? Do you seriously expect me to buy nothing, wrap up nothing, stick a gift tag on nothing, send a card saying I really hope you like your nothing and lie awake worrying that the nothing I got you was the right color nothing you always anted? Have a heart!

Hilary McKay

The more light in your composition, the more generous you are. That is the first sign of a true light warrior. They give without waiting for you to ask. They give without expecting to be repaid. They give to strangers and even offer help to enemies. And sadly, because their light is so bright, they also attract tons of bugs and flies their way.

Suzy Kassem

When you can give without expecting anything in return, you have mastered the art of living.
