Giving Larkin

Famous quotes containing the words giving and/or larkin:

    Here I pause in my sojourning, giving thanks for having come,
    come to trust, at every turning, God will guide me safely home.
    Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God,
    Came to rescue me from danger, precious presence, precious blood.
    Robert Robinson (1735–1790)

    Selflessness is like waiting in a hospital
    In a badly-fitting suit on a cold wet morning.
    Selfishness is like listening to good jazz
    With drinks for further orders and a huge fire.
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
