"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 good gift celebrates the relationship between the giver and the receiver. When you open that box, you feel like, 'Wow, you really understood me.' At the same time, you think this gift could come only from that person.

Marcel Wanders

For every giver there must be a receiver, and for every receiver there must be a giver.

T. Harv Eker

the giver measures his gift with one yardstick, and the receiver measures it with another.

Laura Huxley

Giving connects two people, the giver and the receiver, and this connection gives birth to a new sense of belonging.

Deepak Chopra

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!

Joyce Meyer

I am the guilty gift-giver, which means that I am a gift-giver who lacks all sense of proportion.

Tom Junod

Flattery corrupts both the receiver and the giver.

Edmund Burke

Love beautifies the giver and elevates the receiver.

Sivananda

But what parent can tell when some . . . fragmentary gift of knowledge or wisdom will enrich her children's lives? Or how a small seed of information passed from one generation to another may generate a new science, a new industry-a seed which neither the giver nor the receiver can truly evaluate at the time.

Helena Rubinstein

It's a great gift in my throat. When you have a gift, you think about the giver. Who gave this to me? And this takes you to a spiritual sense of God. That has captivated me all through my life, serving that lucky gift.
