“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them”
Bible
“Give neither counsel nor salt till you are asked for it”
Italian Proverb
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be.”
William Shakespeare
“If a square peg doesn’t fit a round hole, neither the peg nor the hole is to blame. Between two people, the question "whose fault is it?" is the friend of argumentation and the destroyer of growth-oriented communication. Assigning blame involves listening to criticize and responding to defend, speaking to lower the other person rather than speaking to build each up. Relational progress is impossible as long as blame is the focus because blame and progress are enemies. In our litigation-hungry society we must take care that focusing on fault - which is proper for the courtroom - doesn’t carry over into interpersonal relationships. The heart of loving communication is listening to understand.”
Jeffrey Bryant
“This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire”
Voltaire
“We are gentlemen that neither in our hearts nor outward eyes envy the great nor shall the low despise.”
“He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end”
William Penn
