Better Injury Receive Than

Roman - Statesman
106 BC - 43 BC

"It's better to give than to receive." Let me put this as elegantly as possible: "What a crock!" That statement is total hogwash, and in case you haven't noticed, it's usually propagated by people and groups who want you to give and them to receive. The whole idea is ludicrous. What's better, hot or cold, big or small, left or right, in or out? Giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin. Whoever decided that it is better to give than to receive was simply bad at math. For every giver their must be a receiver, and for every receiver there must be a giver.

T. Harv Eker

A pretty girl is better than a plain one. A leg is better than an arm. A bedroom is better than a living room. An arrival is better that a departure. A birth is better than a death. A chase is better than a chat. A dog is better than a landscape. A kitten is better than a dog. A baby is better than a kitten. A kiss is better than a baby. A pratfall is better than anything.

Preston Sturges

It's not better to give than to receive. It's insane to try to give and not receive.

Bob Burg

We can more easily avenge an injury than requite a kindness; on this account, because there is less difficulty in getting the better of the wicked than in making one's self equal with the good.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

What great profit you gain from God when you are generous! You give a coin and receive a kingdom; you give bread from wheat and receive the Bread of Life; you give a transitory good and receive an everlasting one. You will receive it back, a hundred times more than you offered.

Thomas of Villanova

Nothing is certain in a sportsperson's life. There can be an injury, performance can go down, others can do better than me.

P. R. Sreejesh

It is better to give a lick than receive one.

Bo Jackson

It is better to give than receive- especially advice.

Mark Twain

Although you will often receive something other than what you prayed for, I have never known it to be worse - it has always been better than expected.

SQuire Rushnell

Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it; for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.

Saint John Chrysostom

To tell you the Truth: It's better to give rather than to receive.

Amado Nervo

The downside isn't really injury, fear of injury or the process of fighting back from injury. The downside, the very worst thing in the world, is surgery.

Greg Rusedski

What the Bible says is really true-it's better to give than to receive.

Ted Turner

Every injury is specific to what has happened, but the advice that I will give is that if you have a lower body injury, to work your upper body out. If you have an upper body injury, work your lower body out. Again, move what is not broken and you will definitely feel better.
