Everyone truly does have God-given gifts. Find them and use them, and don't let anyone else tell you that you are less than who you are.

Carly Fiorina

We therefore need to know the gifts given us by God, so that we may use them, for by these we shall be saved.

Walter Hilton

All the gifts and talents we have are from God, but they are also for God...for His glory and for His pleasure. Don't waste them, make great use of them and make Him proud.

Amari Cooper

God is with us to be utilised. His Power, His Love, His Thought, His Presence, must be at our disposal, like other great forces, such as sunshine and wind and rain. We can use them or not, as we please. That we could use them to their full potentiality is, of course, not to be thought of; but we can use them in proportion to our ability.

Basil King

The gifts given to us by God must not be relinquished to those who speak ill of them and who are moved by envy or ignorance.

Filippo Brunelleschi

It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has given. We must remember that each of us is made in the image of God, that there are no unimportant persons. Everyone matters to God and to his fellowmen.

Marvin J. Ashton

Use the noble gifts which God has given you!

Jane Welsh Carlyle

If God gives you gifts you must use them to justify your life. It is what the Greeks called divine discontent that drives you.

Mary Fairfax

Many ... have tremendous God-given gifts, but they don't focus on the development of those gifts. Who are these individuals? You've never heard of them- and you never will .

John Wooden

God is inexhaustible in His gifts to men? Everywhere we see plenty and joy; only the greedy rich lay their hands on and keep in their treasuries too many of God's gifts, which might plentifully nourish hundreds and thousands of poor. Man! Believe firmly in God's inexhaustibility in His gifts, and willingly 'deal your bread to the hungry' (Isa. 58:7)?

John of Kronstadt

To find the gifts we have been given, we must pray and fast. Often Patriarchal blessings tell us the gifts we have received and declare the promise of gifts we can receive if we seek after them. I urge you each to discover your gifts and to seek after those that will bring direction to your life's work and that will further the work of heaven.

Robert D. Hales

It is not my strength that grows, so much as God's strength in me, which is given more abundantly as the days roll. It is so given on one condition. If my faith has laid hold of the infinite, the exhaustless, the immortal energy of God, unless there is something fearfully wrong about me, I shall be getting purer, nobler, wiser, more observant of His will; gentler, like Christ; every way fitter for His service, and for larger service, as the days increase.

Alexander MacLaren

If God has given graces to some good women, revealing to them something holy and good through His Holy Scriptures, should they, for the sake of the defamers of the truth, refrain from writing down, speaking, or declaring it to each other? Ah! It would be too impudent to hide the talent which God has given us, we who ought to have the grace to persevere to the end. Amen!

Marie Dentiere

God has given us all wonderful unique gifts and talents to use to glorify and celebrate Him.

Victoria Osteen

What a beautiful world God, in His loving kindness to His creatures, has given us! What a shame that men endowed with reason and knowledge of right should mar His gifts.
