Gift Precious Small Strangers Though Zeus

Quote Author

Homer
Greek - Poet

I saw rich beggars and poor beggars, proud beggars and humble beggars, fat beggars and thin beggars, healthy beggars and sick beggars, whole beggars and crippled beggars, wise beggars and stupid beggars. I saw amateur beggars and professional beggars. A professional beggar is a beggar who begs for a living.

William Saroyan

Here's a guy [Richard Nixon] who had no gift for small talk, never liked to be around strangers, was physically awkward, and he goes into the one business that calls for ease with strangers and a gift for small talk.

Harry Shearer

He held her as though she was a gift. Given to him in love. Something still and small. Unbearably precious.

The air is Zeus, Zeus earth, and Zeus the heaven, Zeus all that is, and what transcends them all.

Aeschylus

Proud is the spirit of Zeus-fostered kings - their honor comes from Zeus, and Zeus, god of council, loves them.

Homer

Beggars do not envy millionaires, though of course they will envy other beggars who are more successful.

Bertrand Russell

Health is a precious gift. You realise more and more as you get older just how precious a gift it is.

Judith Durham

God gave us the gift of life. It is the most precious gift ever. To be unarmed is to be helpless to protect that gift; that is outright irresponsible.

Ted Nugent

There was a feeling, not sudden, but complete, as though I had been given a small object to hold unseen in my hands. Precious as opal, smooth as jade, weighty as a river stone, more fragile than a bird's egg. Infinitely still, live as the root of Creation. Not a gift, but a trust. Fiercely to cherish, softly to guard. The words spoke themselves and disappeared into the groined shadows of the roof.
