Famous Quotes & Sayings

Henry Hazlitt

Everything we get, outside of the free gifts of nature, must in some way be paid for. The world is full of so- called economists who in turn are full of schemes for getting something for nothing. They tell us that the government can spend and spend without taxing at all; that it can continue to pile up debt without ever paying it off, because "we owe it to ourselves."

Mark Hopkins

Faith then, in its relation to salvation, is that confidence by which we accept it as a free gift from the Saviour, and is the only possible way in which the gift of God could be appropriated.

Leon Morris

It is the way of grace. People do not merit salvation but receive it as a free gift from God on the basis of what Christ's death accomplished.

Philip Yancey

Grace is a free gift of God, but to receive a gift you must have open hands.

Betty Cuthbert

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. It's fresh existence is paid for by the old age and death of a worn out existence which has perished, but which contained the indestructible seed out of which the new existence has arisen: they are one being.

Michel de Montaigne

There is no more expensive thing than a free gift.

George Santayana

Existence is a miracle, and, morally considered, a free gift from moment to moment.
