My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won

Arthur Schopenhauer

Every new born being indeed comes fresh and blithe into the new existence, and enjoys it as a free gift: but there is, and can be, nothing freely given.

Philip Yancey
