“The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.”
Jimi Hendrix
“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.”
Ayn Rand
“It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing.”
Mia Hamm
“When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.”

“Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers.”

“No idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life.”
Ernest Renan
“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.”
Barbara De Angelis
“Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.”
“To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”
Steve Roland Prefontaine
