There is no reason for you to try to become like white people and there is no basis whatever for their impertinent assumption that *they* must accept *you*.

James Baldwin

When gifts are given to me through my camera, I accept them graciously.

Minor White

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

For relationships, too, must be like islands.

One must accept the serenity of the winged life, of ebb and flow, of intermittency.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

The gifts that one receives for giving are so immeasurable that it is almost an injustice to accept them.

The atmosphere, the earth, the water and the water cycle - those things are good gifts. The ecosystems, the ecosphere, those are good gifts. We have to regard them as gifts because we couldn't make them. We have to regard them as good gifts because we couldn't live without them.

Wendell Berry

How generous was it to offer gifts to people one knew would never accept them?
