A Quote by Alma Katsu

And it´s so different for a lot of people I´ve known. One partner doesn´t love the other enough to stop drinking, or gambling, or running around with other women. One is the giver and one is the taker. The giver wishes the taker would stop.

In marriage, someone has to be a giver and someone a taker. I am a taker who married a giver.

Robert Preston

Don't be a taker, be a giver, because when you give you get back.

Rudy Ruettiger

Real love is when you become selfless and you are more concerned about your mate's or children's egos than your own. You're now a giver instead of a taker.

Sylvester Stallone

If you are a taker of happiness you get misery, if you are a giver of happiness you get joy and love.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

As God loves a cheerful giver, so he also loves a cheerful taker. Who takes hold of his gifts with a glad heart.

John Donne

If you were a real fascistic society and you had a vocal minority that was shouting, "Stop this, stop that, stop the other thing," what you would say is, "Let's give them all the drugs they want." In a lot of states, something very much like that happened. They lowered the drinking age to eighteen and said, "Get juiced."

Stephen King

God is not a taker. God is a giver.

Louie Giglio

Don't stop at the first no. You have to be a risk taker. If there weren't room for creativity, the patent office would close down.

Silence is a giver; it gives some things to you! Noise is a taker; it takes some things from you! Seek for the silence!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

We [need to] stop treating each other like that, stop calling each other fat and stop with these unrealistic expectations for women. It’s disappointing that the media keeps it alive and fuels that fire.

Jennifer Lawrence

I think women need to stop fighting women. But not just fighting each other, fighting ourselves. I honestly think self-love is so powerful that it could stop war. If we were to embed that within ourselves and help other people to love themselves as well, this whole world could change. I truly believe that.

Harnaam Kaur

When some remote ancestor of ours invented the shovel, he became a giver: He could plant a tree. And when the axe was invented, he became a taker: He could chop it down. Whoever owns land has thus assumed, whether he knows it or not, the divine functions of creating and destroying plants.

Aldo Leopold

Before giving, the mind of the giver is happy; while giving, the mind of the giver is made peaceful; and having given, the mind of the giver is uplifted.

Gautama Buddha

I'd like everybody to be secular. I suppose I have to say politically I would like religion to become gentler and nicer and to stop interfering with other people's lives, stop repressing women, stop indoctrinating children, all that sort of thing. But I really, really would like to see religion go away altogether.
