“Ask a lot, but take what is offered”
Russian Proverb
“Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.”
William Barclay
“It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making those that are required”

“Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.”
Bible
“The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself. Of course he wants care and shelter. You don't buy love for nothing.”
William S. Burroughs
“I know that the twelve notes in each octave and the variety of rhythm offer me opportunities that all of human genius will never exhaust”
