Receive

Famous quotes containing the word receive:

    His word
    is withdrawn,
    hieratic,
    authentic,
    a king’s,
    yet all may receive it.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    One serious drawback about letters is that, in order to get them, one must send some out. When it comes to the mail, I feel it is better to receive than to give.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

    Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.
    James P. Comer (20th century)
