When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.
Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs Piercing the night's dull ear; and from the tents The armorers accomplishing the knights, With busy hammers closing rivets up, Give dreadful note of preparation.
Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.
The apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give ...
Give thy thoughts no tongue, nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar.

Give it an understanding, but no tongue.

And in the end... the love you get equals the love you give
The force of his own merit makes his way-a gift that heaven gives for him.
A rarer spirit never Did steer humanity; but you gods will give us Some faults to make us men.
