Famous quotes containing the word receive:

Yet today’s young people are no more mature or capable of handling the increased conflicting and often stimulating information they receive than were young people of the past, who received the information and had more adult control of and advice about the information they did receive.
    James P. Comer (20th century)

    Shall we receive the good at the hand of God, and not receive the bad?
