For the will and not the gift makes the giver.

I don't want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I'm not interested in doing that anymore.

If you're at an award ceremony, you're against your mates.

Gifts must affect the receiver to the point of shock.

The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.

We are never doing anyone any favors by withholding our gifts from the world. It's scary to be fierce, but you can't compromise that for fear of losing those around you.

Here's my gift-giving rule: Respect your current financial situation.

You do have to be fairly selfish when you have a gift. You cannot afford to let too many outside things get in the way.
