Receive

Famous quotes containing the word receive:

“The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children.

—Fred Rogers (20th century)

a king’s,
yet all may receive it.”
