Melodies can be good depending on the context. You can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. You can also have a complex melody. The more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. You could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.

Donald Fagen

God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.

Pope Francis

God gives us a gift, but then that gift has to be worked.

Paulo Dybala

He that gives all, though but little, gives much; because God looks not to the quantity of the gift, but to the quality of the givers.

Francis Quarles

I knew a lot of chords, but they weren't the chords that came with the melody that came with the idea I had for the song. Melodies are simple things. If you see a train wreck, there's a melody. If you see a little daisy blowing in the breeze, there's a melody.

Tom T. Hall

God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious; as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, "It comes from a hand we love," and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.

Martin Luther

God honors a beautiful blend of gift and grit! He gives the gift, and He expects us to have the grit to practice and learn how to use it effectively.

Beth Moore

Since peace is alone the gift of God, and as it is He who gives it, why should we be afraid? His unspeakable gift in His beloved Son is the ground of no doubtful hope.

Michael Faraday

Basically, country is my kind of music - the simple melody, the simple lyrics.

Vera Lynn

Our talents are the gift that God gives to us... What we make of our talents is our gift back to God

Leo Buscaglia

Faith is a gift from God and he gives it to whomever he chooses

Mother Teresa

The cross is the gift God gives to his friends.

Philip Neri

No matter how small the gift, God gives the increase.

Catherine McAuley

I am a gift of joy that God gives to a wonderful world.

Ernest Holmes

I always had a philosophy which I got from my father. He used to say, 'Listen. God gave to you the gift to play football. This is your gift from God. If you take care of your health, if you are in good shape all the time, with your gift from God no one will stop you, but you must be prepared.'

Pele

What are gods for if not to sit in judgment over men? The Many-Faced God does not weigh men's souls, however. He gives his gift to the best of men as he gives it to the worst. Elsewise the good would live forever.

George R. R. Martin
