“Life IS the gift you were given,So stop waiting around for your dues.Use it wisely and you’ll gift yourself abundantly.”

“The greatest gift that you were ever given was the gift of your imagination.”

“Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.”

“And isn't part of your life doing something with the gifts God has given you?”

“When you look back on a lifetime and think of what has been given to the world by your presence, your fugitive presence, inevitably you think of your art, whatever it may be, as the gift you have made to the world in acknowledgment of the gift you have been given, which is the life itself... That work is not an expression of the desire for praise or recognition, or prizes, but the deepest manifestation of your gratitiude for the gift of life.”

“Christian hands never claspand He doesn't give gifts for gainbecause a gift can never stop being a gift - it is always meant to be given.”
