Whenever you read a book or have a conversation, the experience causes physical changes in your brain. It's a little frightening to think that every time you walk away from an encounter, your brain has been altered, sometimes permanently.

George Johnson

When you pray to God resignedly, as though patiently accepting the punishment of grief at the death of a loved one, and you say: "Thy will be done O Lord. The Lord giveth, and he taketh away", you have not yet known the God of love, for God giveth only. God never takes that which has not been given. What God gives to you you regive to Him for His regiving. You rejoice when God gives birth to life, yet you deeply grieve when you give rebirth to new life - for that is what death is.

Walter Russell

I learned more of how to appreciate what I had then - my family, my kids, the talent that God gives you - because He can take it away at any time. He took it away from Brian through death. He took it away from me through my knees.

Gale Sayers

If we're not a good steward of what God gives us, he takes it away. I think that's what happened. I wasn't a good steward of the gift that he gave me in this line of work. I abused it, so he took it away.

Shawn Michaels

Whatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.

Richard Sibbes

God gives us life and takes us away as He sees fit.

Johnny Cash

Any time I need to be really physical, and a role requires that, you're kind of viscerally activated by being that physical in it. It takes away the thought process, which is fun.

Matthew Fox

Let us be ashamed of our slowness in thanking God when He gives, and of our quickness in grumbling at Him when He takes away.

Nikolaj Velimirovic

The summer demands and takes away too much. /But night, the reserved, the reticent, gives more than it takes

John Ashbery

I think I rely on my talent more than my brain sometimes.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Perhaps God gives us a hint about whom God favors through physical and material prosperity. So those who are doing well are probably favored by God.

Anthony B Pinn

There are two kinds of talent, man-made talent and God-given talent. With man-made talent you have to work very hard. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while.
