“I did not have any magnificent jewels to give you, but I hoped you would understand that I would give you the world if I could.”

“I would give you everything of myself. I would give you more in two weeks than most men would give you in a lifetime.”

“Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.”

“If you were my girlfriend I would give you a hundred lightning bugs in a green glass jar, so you could always see your way. I would give you a meadow full of wildflowers, where no two blooms would ever be alike. I would give you my bicycle, with its golden eye to protect you. I would write a story for you, and make you a princess who lived in a white marble castle. If you would only like me, I would give you magic. If you would only like me.”

“All I know is I want you to be happy, and if I could do anything to give that to you, I would.”

“On the subject of how to make friends, I would give you some tips, but I just don’t have any. Oh, I have plenty of tips, but I don’t have any friends.”
