Give - Quotes
If the giver`s goal is to change behavior, it`s not enough to give the healthy thing - bran, let`s say - that you want them to eat. You also must give more bran than the recipient currently eats, that is, when he`s getting by without a grant. Any amount of bran he`s already eating - up to the amount of the grant - becomes cash, since he can substitute the gift bran for purchased bran, freeing up cash for anything else he might buy.

Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody, to give to somebody without worrying whether they`ll give anything back, or if they`re gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn`t something that happens to you. Maybe it`s something you have to choose.

Tell a devout Christian that his wife is cheating on him, or that frozen yogurt can make a man invisible, and he is likely to require as much evidence as anyone else, and to be persuaded only to the extent that you give it.
