Receive Quotes

On giving first, and what actually comes back.

These quotes turn 'receive' into a two-way street, from a hard statistic about schools that receive less funding, to short, almost proverbial lines insisting you have to give before you can get anything back. Each one treats receiving as something earned, not simply handed over.

To give your best is to receive the best.
