Bestow

Famous quotes containing the word bestow:

    The richest gifts we can bestow are the least marketable. We hate the kindness which we understand.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The government does not concern me much, and I shall bestow the fewest possible thoughts on it. It is not many moments that I live under a government, even in this world. If a man is thought- free, fancy-free, imagination-free ... unwise rulers or reformers cannot fatally interrupt him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.
    —Bible: New Testament 1 Corinthians 13:3-4.
