Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.

Giving in order to get is not giving.

Getters don't get--givers get.

Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart.

There had been a time in Godfrey's life when, had she stood before him in all her splendor, he would have turned from her, because of her history, with a sad disgust. Was he less pure now? He was more pure, for he was humbler.

Giving feels fantastic and for there to be a Giver, there must be a Receiver, so allowing yourself to receive is an act of love.
