Famous quotes containing the word bestows:
“Piety practised in solitude, like the flower that blooms in the desert, may give its fragrance to the winds of heaven, and delight those unbodied spirits that survey the works of God and the actions of men; but it bestows no assistance upon earthly beings, and however free from taints of impurity, yet wants the sacred splendour of beneficence.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“He who bestows something great receives no gratitude; for in accepting it the recipient has already been weighed down too much.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.”
